"When I started my CNC journey the software I used was very basic and lacked advanced features. Everyone in the forums told me to use vectric if I wanted to advance in CNC and they were right! It was very easy to understand upon install, they had a full library of tutorials and files so I could learn and practice 3d carving and their tool library made first time carving very easy. The most recent updates have been very solid from a feature standpoint and it’s not monthly subscription model like a lot of those other softwares which is nice. Buy once, cry once and use solid software"
