Looking around I do see that 2k plus is the avg cost.

I haven't done any 4 axis work yet. My router has deskcnc which is both a machine control program and a cam program. If you look at their site, they have a tutorial for ring machining.
There are many other cam packages that will output 4 axix g-code and will work. Try and download the trial packages of a few and see which one works best 4 you.
I use deskcnc daily and use mach 3 tp run 2 of my three machines.
I am glad to help.
