Hello, just putting final touiches on a CNC router (gantry style) table. I need suggestions on a good starting software to power it with. Very confusing looking at what's avail. I've never used CNC software before or had any experience with G-Code. I guess what I would like is a good starter software and then mayby a suggestion for a better software once I get used to the starter software. Budget limited right now due to cost of building the table. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Use mach3. It's free for up to 1000 lines of G-code, and if you need more, it's only $159 to register. It's more powerful than anything within several thousand dollars of it's price. Go to www.machsupport.com and watch the instructional videos to get started.
