Free CNC and laser file converters
Tools for makers, hobbyists and small workshops who switch software or share files between machines, so settings don't have to be typed in again by hand.
The CNC tool library converter moves your cutters between Fusion 360, VCarve and Aspire, Carbide Create, FreeCAD and LinuxCNC, or into an Excel sheet: end mills, ball and radius mills, drills, chamfer and V-bits and more, with their diameters, flute lengths and angles and the feeds and speeds you have tuned.
The laser project converter opens xTool Creative Space (.xcs) projects in LightBurn or in Inkscape and other SVG editors, with layers, power and speed kept, and turns LightBurn or SVG designs into .xcs projects for xTool machines. Shapes, text (as outlines) and engraved pictures come across, and the page explains the few things that cannot be converted.
