when i started my CNC journey it quickly became apparent that you could buy the best constructed and most accurate machine in the world and it would be wasted without good software, many people have found free software that does the Job But as you said i found V-carve from Vectric very reasonable and an ideal platform to start to be able to produce commercial grade Products,

Take a look at this link and see if this is the sort of thing you are after producing..

P.S. At first look maybe the software seems a little pricey but as a percentage of the hardware cost it is very reasonable and by the time you have made a few signs for your friends and neighbors with old bits of wood collected from the Woods you will be well on your way to recouping the software costs and you will get practice with the machine as well..
