Hi
I am new to CNC/Router machines. I want to make small projects from Aluminum/wood/carbon fiber..

I have not quite grasped the software end of things yet. I am using Mach3. I need a piece of software that I can convert the CAD files into G-code but I have not got a lot of money. Please can you suggest something ?

I use Mach3
