Hiya from Dublin Ireland,
I am on the brink of ordering the STEPCRAFT-2/840 Construction Kit + HF Spindle 500 (I will mostly use soft materials wood, plastics)
I’ve a question:
What software comes closest to 3DSMAX and or is it possible to use/export max files.
What interface should I use USB Full or Parallel.
Thanks in advance

Hello Raincheck,
Am I right if 3DsMAX is an Autodesk drawing program? If so you can't import that format in your CNC program.
Unless there is a function of exort your files in a preprocessor G-format.
What will you make with your machine?
If you intent to buy WINPC-USB you must upgrade to full version for 3D or 4th axis and easy tool changing, I use the full version and that works fine for me.
Another program is UCCNC looks a bit like Mach-3, I have no experience with those programs. (you can download a free trial that works in demo mode so you can test it if it satified your needs)
And USB has a higher data transfer rate than Parallel, second now days most computers don't have any parallel ports on board.
