well, ya know I think Im going to try a few freebies and see what works for me and what doesn't.. then I can ask some more specific questions and home in on something to buy.. I realize that the software is a third of the equation (the machine and my human brain are the other two thirds) so it's not going to be cheap if I want quality.
problem is that I want to do all types of work! Engraving, photo carivng, 3d parts, signs.. the whole nine.
Is there a package that combines basic CAD with CAM AND stepper driver software? that would be a nice starting point....
thanks again
