Headfirst into the CNC deep end today

I'm the proud new owner of a "new to me" Fireball Meteor CNC machine. It feels really odd to have a computer in the shop but I guess I need to get used to that. Fortunately for me, I am well versed in CAD, unfortunately not so much on the CAM side of things. My 3 kids are all experts and are steepening the learning curve dramatically, this would be overwhelming if they weren't helping. So far I'm using the Fusion 360 personal use versio…

I’m having problems with a 4 way wiaring for a telecaster. Everything is connected correctly. But it seens like when I’m not touching the guitar it buzzes with just the light pocking at the metal parts

Poly Roadstar Kahler Fill

Haven't done any finish work on this yet, just made and installed the patch.
