Re: G Code for Sherline Mill help needed
Everyone has given you sound advice. It will take time unfortunately.
On the other hand, what control software is the machine using? If it is Mach 3, download it to your computer. Run it as a simulation. It will give you the ability to see the part and the steps created by said GCode. Most CAD programs have the simulation too. Might be a bit early for that just yet. Awerby gave great advice on the hand coding. That is most likely the route you should take. It will give you the best understanding of GCode in the future. I can draw and generate code as a novice. I am not able to see the commands in my head by reading the code. I am better than I was and learn as I go.
Though many of us here are hobbyists, the art or profession of machining is just that, a profession. Doing something fast with a CNC is a misnomer. Doing a part multiple times accurately is a better description but that is only after many runs, corrections and adjustments to the machine and files. Wood and the Sherline will both be pretty forgiving. By all means the Sherline can handle the task. If in doubt check out "Tryally" on YouTube.
A lazy man does it twice.
