I am looking for a CNC Router for my wood shop. I would like a 4x8 or 5x10 model with capabilities of doing 3D carving. Most of the material being shaped would be wood with occasional plastic or foam. Mostly door inlays and fireplace mantels. Torch-mate was one of the brands I was looking at but their are so many options/styles out there I want to be more educated or have others input with what the recommend or use. I would like to stay under 10G but believe I will need to spend more in the line of 15G. Any and all comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I also would like to know what software would be recommended as well. V CarvPro seams to be what a lot of other wood workers are using, but is that the best for the $?
I thank you all for your help in advance!
