thanks,   it does seem to be ok.    it will be a bit before i actually have some hardware to connect.    but i have been able to move the tool head around and PLAY the original linuxCnc gcode that traces LinuxCnc on the screen and the jog buttons are working.    

i will catch up when i get some hardware,   hopefully  within a couple of weeks.   I wanted to start with a technic clearpath all in one servo, for the quill

have a good night, and thanks

I might not be the "best" to answer this, but since i see you're head first into self destruction, leme help :
-QtDragon does not care about your spoil board, nor does FreeCAD
-... i am out ...
Back on topic, i can not recall what i used some 15 or more years back for that exact purpose, but i am sure it was free and Open Source, but:
forum.linuxcnc.org/20-g-code/42707-g-code-generators
wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Simple...NC_G-Code_Generators
And most probably this will do just fine
github.com/LinuxCNC/simple-gcode-generators/tree/master/face
and the bunch here
github.com/LinuxCNC/simple-gcode-generators?tab=readme-ov-file

For the life of me, I can not find ANY useful info on how to re-face my spoilboard. Sure, I would have to buy hundreds of dollars to get a program to do what Qtdragon should be able to do with out that. I have FreeCAD but, I also seems to not have the means to do this. Is there any one here that knows how to make a G-code operated machine simply go back and forth at a set high across a set dimension?
As you guys will have questions, I will be glade to answer to get this spoilboard faced. before I burn it to the ground.

Looks fine so far, move on!
There should be no issues with the BOB as long as your servo drives can accept step/dir control signals, or even quadrature or UP/DOWN.
