I picked up a Stepcraft 4x8 CNC router with a 2.2kw spindle (not a tool changer, yet) and I have some questions about things... First, I'll need a spoil board cutter, any suggestions that don't break the bank? Same thing on cabinet design and nesting software... I found one called cabinetpartspro that seems pretty decent and am trying out the free download.

In a stroke of bad luck, the rigging company damaged wiring from the VFD to the spindle, which in turn shorted out the VFD. I've ordered a new Hitachi NES1-022SB and am wondering if anybody knows what to set the parameters at? They should be pretty generic I would assume.

I'm sure I'll have plenty of other questions, but that'll get me started.
