    I'm using Rhino3D for modeling, and then my CNC guy uses Visual Mill
    to run his machine. He let me watch over his shoulder the other day,
    and it looked really easy to use. Basically all he did was load up a
    file I'd done in Rhino and set a couple of handfuls of settings for
    the machine. Visual Mill seems pricey to me, at $4000 for the full
    version, or $1000 for the "basic" version. Check it out at
    www.mecsoft.com. 

    I'm very happy with Rhino3D for modeling. I find it intuitive and
    fast. It retails for $895 from www.rhino3d.com, but there are places
    that sell it for under $600. Or you can get it bundled with Visual
    Mill for $500.
