Venkata Ramayya says:

How about using FreeCad for all three steps of CNC Manufacturing???

Bruce Le Smith says:

As everyone else said, this is very clearly explained in plain language, and that is probably a more difficult feat than running a CNC! Thank you

I'm interested in ordering one of these but I'm confused with the ordering process with all the options available. I would like to stick with dewalt if possible, I have a Dewalt DW618 but don't mind buying a DW611. What MM size do I need to chose for this option. I sincerely apologize for asking this buy I'm very new to the CNC world and have been looking for the right choice, 7 months later I still find the one you featured here to be the best choice. My other concern is size. My table that I have is 24" depth from the wall of my basement to the edge of the table where I would like to place this unit. Would you happen. Yo have a 24" x 30" wide unit? Or just the 12" x 30" as the smallest size?

Austin JT says:

Do you happen to have a class or something? Maybe an online Course?

I have interest in a CNC Machine but I don't know how to Operate it.
And Seller suggest that I do research first before buying. Because his CNC are more a DIY's Project than a complete model.

It will come with a Full Set and Style of my choice but I have to set it up myself.
But since the seller is a Big Company, they plainly said they have no interest working with "Newbie" simply because they don't have the time to answer all my questions.

They suggest I take a class somewhere before starting to buying their CNC.
The problem is my entire country, don't have a professional class for Operating CNC.
We have class for fixing/repairing Mobiles (Shocking, I know) and fixing Cars, motors…

So? Do you have an online class or anything like that? Thank you.
If you can't help, I understand too.
