Been playing around yesterday with gcodetools, and did a basic cut to path of a logo I did in inkscape.
I'm starting to really like inkscape and your plugin!
Used a 1/8 ball cutter on a jewellers type dremel. Approximate size of the logo is about 100mm, cut 0.5mm deep, material - cherry wood.
Everything went good.
May I suggest to add a radio button to turn the spindle on inside one of the tabs in gcodetools. Or perhaps it should be in the gcode file by default?
I have a relay that turns the spindle when there is a signal from EMC and its a bummer to add the code every time by hand.
The code I add is S5000M03 which is spindle on at 5k rpm cw.
I will try the area cutting next and take some pics.
