Testing new cnc

Purchased a cheap chinese cnc mill from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PXKMG96?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_asin_title). So far I have assembled the machine, tried a cut on scrap walnut flooring and soft pallet scrap with the supplied v and burr bits. Those results were less than impressive. Also did a test burn with the laser module in walnut and thin plywood. Those results were much better. This project space will be an attempt to chronicle the journey from horrible results to solid settings that will produce predictably good outcomes.

So far, I have found a great resource for the type mill I have in a facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/SainSmart.GenmitsuCNC/ Most of the tips and tricks I will be attempting have their origins in information from this group.
