Hi there I know there is a lot of "oh please tell me what to use etc" I have seen a few and keep seeing Fusion 360 is the go to but I don't want to subscribe to a payment plan for software I would much like to buy and own myself.

I am still searching through all various cam software's and then watching utube vids on them or downloading free trial software etc but am just wondering what is the next best thing that you can own yourself?

I am going to get Mach4
I have XP windows
CNC 6040

I am aiming to do mainly woodworking on my 6040.

Cheers for your time guys
