I use Foamworks also. One was to much money for what I wanted to do and the other one I never did get working right but it is still loaded. Maybe play with it after to find the problem.
Foamworks is running with my Hobbycnc 4 axiz pro system and although it is not as fast cutting as some want it does the job for me. My screws are 3/8" x 16 tpi and was originally going to use 1/4x20 but a friend said that would be real slow. If I need to speed it up I would have to change the ready rod to less tpi.
The 2 programs available from the foamworks site work hand in hand which I have but there are also other small programs available for free that can also convert files for you. I am into wing cutting and playing around with different shapes to make fuselages for small electrics. Later it will be large scale when I get some time.
Try the demo and play around with the settings to see if it is what you want. I crossed up initially as I was playing with the program before I built the cutter. When I finished my cutter the time had expired on the demo which created a problem and I could not do any trial cuts.
