I am really posting this for some advice. I purchased a CNC router table. I know it's not as trick as a waterjet or plasma, but it will do some things I need it to do. And besides can you really beat $250?
Software is the question. Are there any suggestions for a cheap alternative to software to learn on before I have to dump some cash on an expensive program with too many variables to learn the basics on?
Second pick up. What the heck, same price, just a vertical bandsaw.
Hopefully there are no red x's.
