Las Vegas - AWFS

[mnrite]

I just ordered my Shopbot and am going to Vegas for the AWFS. I plan to cut everything from cabinet parts to 3d carvings. What products should I be sure to check out (espically Software) at the show?

ps I also run a large router with mastercam at work.

Thanks
Mike

Mike,

I would get all the free downloadable programs I could - one at a time. I would find one with more power than I dream I will ever need and has an interface I like. I would also be looking for the interface I can start using as quickly as possible.

If you are using a program at work that you like - You should be looking for the closest thing to it you can afford. after that, use those programs and concentrate on learning them in depth.

By mastering just a few programs, you will be able to do more than most with great software collections they seldom use.

Good Luck,
Ron
