It's nice for sure.  I'll stick to my new Arduino addiction. :D

Well the problem is that creating a 3D toolpath isn't a simple process. 
The software that creates it can be pretty complex and VERY, VERY 
expensive.  Go price MasterCAM or GibbsCAM some time.  Your head will 
explode.  That's why I suggested Cut3D.  You can do four sided machining 
and it won't break the bank.

For a good tutorial on CNC, try this:

There's also some other good tutorial sites out there.  Stuff that has 
much better material than I can come up with on short notice.

It might also be known as an Illustrated Parts Breakdown.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical

holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
