Suggestions for cnc software, with cutter radius compensation?

Hello

I am looking for some fairly low-cost cnc software with tool radius
compensation. Yeager automation (cncpro) does not offer this, and I
was planning to download a copy of that program. I still might if I
cannot find some hobby-type software with this feature. I suspect,
from reading other comments, that cncpro is pretty good.

I'd like to have the radius compensation, if possible, because I think
it would be easier to plan out the tool path, and then use the G-42
compensation to just cut inside the tool path, and I don't cut out too
big of a pocket.

Any suggestions? Thanks, Tom.
