CNC Milling software

[Susan]

Hi all,

If you don’t use VCarve/Carbide Motion to create and control your CNC Milling what do you use?
Would you recommend your choice to a beginner?

For context:
I am setting up the recently auctioned off CNC Milling station for the purchaser and it does not have VCarve or Carbide Motion. The machine’s laptop appears to have been using CNCusb by https://planet-cnc.com/ which looks interesting, but probably not good for a beginner.

Cheers!

Susan

Great beginner CNC software are Carbide Create and Easel.
We use the former in CNC Basics and the latter is browser-based.
With simplicity comes feature constraints but these software can do a lot.
