Arduino CNC Shield Power Routing

On the software side had you looked at Estlcam It is primarily a hobbyist CAM package with 2D and 3D machining including carving lots of functionality and apparently it can control the CNC directly through grbl. We've been using it for a year now in an educational setting.Its not perfect but it's amazing value for money £43.00 and it's much better than the shapeoko stuff like easel. It definitely doesn't have all the fusion 360 stuff but its free to try and would offer a simpler workflow.

Pair with a touchscreen lcd and you have an all in one solution for a desktop mill.

Not worth it for me though as I have a spare dell laptop which has a flip touchscreen to work as a pseudo tablet which should be ideal to build into the machine and gives me a much bigger screen to work on and a very neat solution and if I do need the proper keyboard and I flip it back round.
