After much testing and user error… Created on FreeCad 0.22… presenting: ![20230927_181903](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/maslowcnc/original/3X/2/8/28f057a54d3b4852fcc3a40a0be404cee7d81f95.jpeg) And there was much rejoicing! It’s pretty small and basic, just wanted to learn how to do some important-but-basic operations, and since perimeter cutting was a given, I figured I’d try drilling as the second operation to test. FreeCad isn’t yet perfectly setup, there’s some tweaking and stuff to do to make it happy with negative-Z cutting by default, but having this on my bench as inspiration is awesome! ---

One of the first sorta “My Design” cuts that I did was a couple of bit holders. I did copy the design from someone else, but I cut it manually on the M2. Like, literally. Drop the bit, jog the bit. No g-code, just manually jogging the machine. I laugh about it now, but it worked. The collet holes are cut with a drill press and a forstner bit, those were not done on the cnc. ![BitHolders](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/maslowcnc/original/3X/3/8/38d6b3e7e1662f55698d31ea79cca29b9ef6bc61.jpeg)
