Take a look at GRBL 0.9 or the new version 1.1. Gcode via USB to an Arduino Mega or for less stepper channels an Arduino Uno. from laptop running Universal Gcode Sender for version 0.9 or UGSPlatform for version 1.1
<https://github.com/grbl/grbl>
<https://github.com/gnea/grbl/releases>

For DXFs of drawings to Gcode
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/dxf2gcode/>

I have just completed a CNC hot wire foam cutter using GRBL version 0.9 on a UNO and have total control of the wire current using the spindle speed control function.

Any questions, just ask.

I am
overwhelmed by the response.    I just
ordered 3 stepper motor drivers as I had none extra.  I
am trying to get something working and then tackle the
Chinese machine.  i was also supersized that not as
many were not familiar with LINUXCNC.  I think I got a
handle4 on it now.The Chinese machine is connected by serial
port.  The one I am building is connected by USB. 
I found a utube film about my Chinese
4
Axis USB CNC Controller Board.  I think maybe I got
something glimmering in the sunset of knowledge that might
help me.  Give me a few days until my driver boards for
my motors and let me hook it togather.  Then maybe I
can get the software to work for me.  Just curious as
to what you guys are using.  I am located in the
Panhandle, about 10 miles East of Lubbock,Texas.  I
have not been able to Russell up much help around
here.  I assure you I definetly need it.  If
pictures or screen shots are helpful, I will furnish them on
request.  Once again Guys thanks and I look forward to
more information.
