Hi everyone.

I am a newbie to this site and the world of cnc, but it is my intention to build a small desktop cnc machine in the new year, my question today is this, which software is recommended, for use with the mach 3 system, i intend to design my own parts, so i need a cad software package i can integrate with mach 3, and considering the many titles on the market, not to mention difference in prices, ie, Auto Cad, Turbo Cad, etc; it is confusing, can anyone help, i am on a budget therefore i wish to get it right, all your help will be appreciated.

Regards

Ray
