Getting cross-eyed from testing demos and reading reviews but bottom line for what I want seems to be vectric or artcam.  The free bmp2gcode programs seem to be more involved time-wise than a $150 investment is worth.  The PhotoVCarve and ArtCam Express are both in the $150 range.  I'm concerned mostly with desktop CNC g-code of images for the time being.  PhotoVCarve seems simple and adequate while the ArtCam Express seems more than adequate and offers more CAM features (for future use).  Has anyone else evaluated or compared these 2 programs lately (2015)?

Thanks,
Paul Tonini

Just received my desktop 3040 cnc router.  Connected to parallel port and operating on an XP PC with Mach 3.   X, Y, Z axis are responding properly and roadrunner sample seems to engrave albeit very small (1/2 inch).  Can anyone suggest some simple g-code samples to try on wood?  Hopefully something about 3" x 3".

Thanks,
Paul Tonini
