Camsoft is not usually thought of as a home use application due to
the cost, and the predatory sales techniques put most people off.

Also it looks like just the software to do CadCam and controller
functions is $4995. Hardware is extra, probably a Galil board priced
at $1500+ for a 3 axis capability.

Check out DeskCNC its $300 for the software and $50 for the
hardware. You will need a CAD program that is tool path friendly,
and VectorCad will work well for that. There is usually an
opportunity to purchase it at a nice group discount at
