Complete process for using a CNC router

Process:
1. 2D part design using VCarve Pro software (or software of your choice)
2. Definition of the blind grooving toolpath in VCarve Pro software (or software of your choice)
3. Initializing the LUQUE Machines CNC router: power on, homing the machine
4. Transferring the ISO code (G-code) for the toolpath to the router
5. Machining preparation: securing the stock to the table, setting the workpiece origin, tool change, tool length probing
6. Starting production
