I wish I could have used a program to vector those pics, I used Autocad and good old lines and arcs, IE I drew them. No vectoring involved, that is why it takes a couple of hours. I manually placed every sigle line and arc in the picture. Try doing that!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then saved them as DXF files and used a CAM program to generate the G code.

MY MAD autocad skills!!!!!!! its funny though cause I can do the protrates all day long, but I have no idea how to draw a 1 in square. and have it be 1 inch. Isnt that funny?
