The Heiz CNC High-Z S400T looks like a substantial machine. And as long as you stay within the machine operating envelope It should do what you want. As far as starting out take light cuts and increase the feeds and speeds and depth of cut as you learn. There is a lot to learn, but it's more about finding where the machine will perform the best, this is not a 10,000 lb machine with a 10 Hp spindle, commercial feed and speed charts probably are not going to work.
For Cad/Cam software, I would take a look at Fusion360. It it a full professional 3D Cad/Cam package, and best of all it's free to hobbyists, and compatible with Mach3
