I have the CRP4896 on order. Have the 2.2kw spindle and VFD in hand. I have the plan created for the CNC table done – just need to pick-up the materials. I also have the computer for controlling the CNC and have Mach3 installed and tested on it. The next decision is software.
The main criteria is ease of use; my vision is not too good so I need displays that avoid things like red on black etc. I am gravitating towards VcarvePro but am somewhat confused by the software options from Vectric.
Aspire is too expensive for non-revenue generating home use.
The confusion come from trying to figure what functions of Cut2D and Ct3D are not in VcarvePro. Also what functions are in VcarvePro that are not in Cut2D and Cut3D.
I have looked at a number of other programs but they seem to be more oriented to part milling and not woodworking.
Any suggestions as to reasonably priced software would be very welcome.
