    Is there a tutorial that walks a newbie through the process of using a CNC? I use SketchUp and have downloaded the SketchUCam extension so I would like a tutorial using those products if possible. Design of small project, moving that project into SketchUCAM and finally producing the GCode. I am using an OpenBuilds 1515 CNC. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Also, there is a very helpful manual if you click on the "?".

    There is a playlist of videos about using SketchUcam, but you should also watch the LEAD assembly video that shows you how to run the getting started Hello World project and so on.
