I am building an light industrial router. (4'x5' ) . I have no experience with cnc and need to purchase the software. I have reviewed mach 3, checked out some videos, and listened to all you who recomend it. I have a friend who is headed in the direction of a full cnc machine shop (he is not a router guy) he just spent $4000 on - http://www.mecsoft.com/Mec/Products/products.shtml
With Mach costing under $200, what am I missing? (I have asked him the same question, and he hasnt got back to me yet. Maybe he's thinking about it.)
Thanks JK
