Thanks for your reply,
Yes i've been dreaming lately of some designs for drawer fronts that I'd love to try but would be impossible or impractical with my present toolkit and when it happens I'd only be to happy to share my photos. Regarding the vectric software I had a quick google and read a few posts about it on another forum and it seems to be well reviewed. I also came across a Canadian company called Planit that does a software called 'cabinetware" that looks like a quality package that converts your designs into G-code which seems to cut out one stage at least, does any of you use it? I'm pretty sure my computer skills are too basic yet too appreciate the free trial and also i have no machine to test it with. As regards machines my budget with software and all included would be about £4000 and thats for a 4x8 size machine or slightly bigger such as the blackfoot kit, has anyone had experience with these kits or other models from them? Thanks in advance for any replies

cheers
