I’m considering purchasing an Elite 48 x 48, but I need to learn more about using CNC software to decide whether I would use the machine enough to justify the purchase. I do a moderate amount of woodworking during my spare time, mostly using a slider, planer/jointer, bandsaw, drill press, and routers. I plan to retire in the next few years. I would be using CNC software, probably running Parallels on a Mac.
