Hi, Im about the make an investment of a cnc router. I want to use one for many different projects, but mostly to create 3d relief work in wood, such as detalied picture frames.
The system I am looking at is
STEPCRAFT-2/840 Construction Kit
Interface USB Beginner
HF-Spindle 500
I will add to the system a 4th axis and other tools such as the 3d printing head in the future.
Please can you advice me, regarding my system choice, will it be enough to create picture frames and other detailed wood carvings, I understand the limitations of a 3 axis machine, I just need to know if I need

Usb beginner comes with WinPC NC starter. The starter cant cope with reliefs. Neither 3D head nor 4th axis are supported.
What you need is the full version of WinPC NC.
Relief milling is also supported by other solutions like UCCNC and its own controller. But I cant tell you wheather it supports 3d print and 4th axis out of the box. My guess: 4th axis propably, 3d print no idea.
