==== Toolpaths ====
Creating tool-paths is a complex process that involves a lot of critical thinking and foresight into the cutting process. Please recognize that these instructions is by no means comprehensive and only addresses the simplest of the 2D tool paths features. If you wish to engrave, inlay or do 3D carving do some research to determine the appropriate procedure. Finally, recognize that YOU ARE THE SAFETY MECHANISM on the CNC router. It will do what it is told even if that means crashing into the table, or crashing into a tool holder because you told it to go to the wrong one. All this to say that when you make a tool-path, be aware that the computer is dumb and will do what you tell it, not what you meant to tell it.
