Congratulations on your purchase, George. You could start out with VCarve Pro. Vectric will upgrade you to Aspire if you decide you need the 3D capability. That's what I did. John knows Aspire much better than I do and he is also good at teaching it. Spend some time reading the Vectric forum. I

You're right George. I use TurboCan to do the drawing and import into Aspire which generates the gcode. I'm sure you could make chair spindles easily. I've not turned any chair spindles yet - I'm even a graduate of The Windsor Institute. I'm planning to build a chair and have many of the parts

Hello, The Arty 36" is not twice the price of the arty, especially with a router. One is $7000, the other is $10,500. That difference in price allows you turn chair, table, island legs, pedestals, and many more things that go up to a diameter of 11 inches rather than 5. The Mini-arty can do 18
