That's a great little machine Freeman, good buy!

I would _strongly_ suggest that you get either Vectric's VCarve Pro or 
Aspire to do your toolpath work.  I've used VCP for years and it's 
fantastic.  It will output code that the Mach3 controller software easily 
processes.  There's a post-processor specifically for Mach3.  When you 
want to do real 3D stuff, I'd either upgrade to or just get Aspire - it's 
also made by Vectric and is a world class tool.
