This whole idea that you need a powerful computer to do cad is false by the way
Ah so like the reverse of 3d printing

depends how complex the part. and how detailed you want to make it. But yeah generally a P5 has the processing power but cannot run the current OS>

It's simple plot coordinates.
CNC reads a program as basic text coords
Until recently i was designing stuff at home in fusion on a core duo and a 9800gt.
Oh, that's all it does? I thought it would be doing advanced shit like detecting stuff with sensors but I guess that's kinda useless

what os were you running. Linux?
Seems like Winblows would be a real damper

Nah you zero your coords with the machine and set the spindle to zeros for those axis' The computer then uses those zeros to plot movement
Win7
Sensors are controlled by their own software/hardware unrelated to the cad program
What do you guys use your machines for though? Horse dildos?
