Eddy's correct that the Kress will be or become the weak link with this machine. When your ready go with the 2.2Kw water cooled spindles you'll see on Ebay you can't go wrong with them and they will do this job all day long without any trouble.

Regards Software then for the very simple things you want now then Cambam is fine and free so stick with it for now. Then at a later date when you have found your feet upgrade to some of the better software.
Personally I wouldn't go with the Cut2D because it's quite limited and offers very little Cambam can't do and before long you'll out grow it and want software that can do 3D has well. The Good thing with Vectric software they do have a good upgrade policy and refund most or all of the cost I think if you upgrade.

Another to look at and My prefered cheap starter option is Delcam's ArtCam express for £99. It can then be upgraded has you go along by purchasing Modules to bring it upto the same or similair spec has it's bigger brothers. Bonus being you only buy what you use or need so your not paying for features you don't use.!

To be honest if your doing batch repeat work for same doors etc the you'll find that hand written G-code will work best and better still parametric G-code has this gives flexabilty by allowing re-sizing Etc inside the G-code with just a few edited lines.
It's often far more efficient has many Cam packages are quite inefficient so can waste loads of time doing moves that need not happen or can be more direct, hand written code for simple things like Doors and drilling holes etc is much more efficient so saves overall Cycle times and speeds up the Job.

At the moment this may sound daunting and advanced but bare it in mind has it's worth taking the time to learn G-code commands.! . . Even when just using Cam packages it's worth learning G-code language so you can see what's happening and in time Catch potential crashes etc thru YOUR mistakes while processing the Toolpath parameters.!!. . . . . It's very simple and not difficult to learn with very few commands.

Do some search's on G-code and Parameteric G-code to see the differance.

Hope this helps and Remember if you doubt the G-code at all the just cut AIR.!!!. . . .It's cheaper than MDF. . Lol
