I have just ordered a small cnc router from the USA becaus I can't find anything in the UK for less than $30,000.00.
i am a complete newbee to cnc but good with overheads vac clamping etc.
I keep hearing about Mach but which version should I start with. I will be mainly doing 2.5d work on solid wood.
Any help would be appreciated also any links to other free or inexpensive cnc related software.
Thanks in advance

I would start with the newest version of Mach3 and LazyCam that comes with Mach :) this will get you to the point where you can read a DXF and make a gcode program.
Best of luck

As Brian says go with the latest Mach 3 but don't be afraid to ask questions.
As regards software have a look at VCarve Pro from Vectric

This is truly awesome for routers.
