This is helpful for the software part assuming that you use AutoCAD, but if you use a 3d program (Inventor or Solidworks) then get
Cut2D which is a stripped down version of V-Carve Pro which is what 461 uses. In Vectric's software you have to make a drawing, and then save it as a pdf or dxf and then just assign feed rates and spindle speed (try 3/16 2-flute carbide bit at 2500 rpm and a feed rate of 6-8 inches/minute).
