Because I don't (yet) have a CAD setup, I'm basically coding stuff up in NativeCAM which is tacked onto LinuxCNC. This is OK for simple stuff but gets incredibly tedious very quickly, especially standing at a machine in the corner of the shed. It's also a pain that you have to constantly account for things like the width of the cutter in every measurement you make.
