It is a tiny desktop mill. It is nothing like anything industrial. The stepper motor controller is run by the computer itself instead of the job loading to the controller and the controller handling the job. Which is kinda cool actually as it shows on the computer screen exactly what it is doing on the mill and you can run it without the mill on.
Here is the G-Code commands it supports and doesn't support.
http://www.acumotion.com/gcode.shtml As you will see it is very limited. The software has a .dxf to G code converter which works well as long as it is a tool path .dxf.
