I’m learning to use the CNC router. I needed a SVG file to cut as a test. Guess what I had in my downloads folder?

It was supposed to connect all the shapes. I’m not sure why it didn’t. I think I needed to do a finishing pass, but when I tried, it actually drilled at the wrong depth and burned a hole in the wood. 
Usually when I use software wrong, I do not cause smoke. Very different.
Which CNC software were you using?
Easel, the web interface for the x-carve CNC machine
it can import gcode but I was just using their authoring stuff
Fun stuff. I remember building an x carve at one point.
