Because your priority is ease of use then Dolphin falls straight into
this slot.
Dolphin has got to be THE most easiest to use CAM program as it
automates many of the functions that the older programs still haven't
managed to do.

As a bonus their CAD package is now a free download so you can run it
on as many students computers as you need with no licensing problems.
They also do a Dolphin / Mach2 package at DEEP discount. Details on
the web site.
