An easy cutting applications: Vectric Vcarve Pro. The trouble is that their toolpathing is really only OK for woodworking. They don't have any of the nicer adaptive clearing or constant tool load things. However, in 2.5D, they handle a lot of things very nicely, and very intuitively. I still use it for 2d outline cuts in wood, drag knife work, and 2D vector laser engraving. edit to add: Don't use SVGs or Illustrator for anything except art. They're really a horrible input for any kind of CNC, better to just use CAD ASAP. Fusion360 is a great free option (for now), and Vectric Vcarve Pro is really nice if you want something really easy in 2.5D.
