CNC Basics – Make Your First Cut

In this video I will walk you through some very simple steps to make your first cuts on a CNC machine. In February I got the Axiom AR8 Pro from my good friend Jay Bates and I was so incredibly intimidated by the machine. I didn’t know where to even begin or how to begin. I want to share my experiences in learning how to use this amazing machine in the hopes to help out some of you that may be in the same boat. I really look forward to learning more and more about this Axiom CNC and sharing everything I can. Be on the lookout for more videos to come.
