If you get DeskCNC, you won't need Mach2 or a CAM program. You will
be able to use a less powerful computer, and can use either the
serial or the USB port.

You could also use the new integrated probe/tool setter to help with
reverse engineering projects, and to reduce setup time.

If you want to do surface design and CAM for a very reasonable price
(way under $1000 with hobbyist discounts), check out VectorCam. It
has excellent IGES, STL, and DXF import and export filters.

Note Vector includes both a Surface and wireframe design capability
(Think Rhino)

AND lathe, mill, 4 axis wire EDM ( or hot wire) CAM-NC programming.
(Think other competitive CAM products).

You get both capabilities in a single integrated package, and any
current purchases of Vector include a free upgrade to Vector XT.
This new version of Vector is expected to ship in August. A free
demo of the Cad-only version of Vector XT, may be accessed at
