Is there some kind of tutorial that would help me understand enough to write my
own G-Code?
I’m wanting to make G-84 tapping cycle work. I think it would need parameters
like F and Z, and perhaps a dwell time. So my G84 would turn on spindle CW,
feed to Z depth at 95% feed F, stop spindle,
Well the G code manual would be the best place but I also have a G code
tutorial here:

Hi, I am wanting to make a plaque for a memorial bench for a friend who
recently passed away. the plaque is 3x5 and I want to cut an image into
bronze.

LinuxCNC comes with Image-to-GCode included.
Just open a jpg file in Axis and watch what happens.

I can recommend Vectric VCarve Pro, but it is expensive for what it is. Needs
to run under Windows, but will output LinuxCNC-compatible code. Ask for a
LinuxCNC or EMC2 post-processor, if there isn't one on the menu.
I use it regularly for all sorts of jobs. Used it this morning for text

It should work in the sim-axis configuration. And then the G-code that
is created should work in your actual config.

Hi,
the problem with a actual photography is, it will not look good

Depending on the width of the groove in the 4040, one of these might work:
