I'm using VisualMill 5. I find the program pretty intuitive, and it works pretty well for me. But I too am new to this CNC stuff.
I am driving a 4 axis Taig desktop mill with a Flashcut CNC system. I have been doing my modelling in Rhino and Pro/Desktop Express. Then I import these into VM.
I wish I had more tutorials and training materials on VM. Each project I do ends up being a learning experience, which is to be expected. But I suspect I am missing many things. In the end I've been very pleased with the results I've gotten from the whole setup.
