@IW2MXP It can definitely be used for inlays. But depending on the type of wood, especially real hard exotic woods, I would probably upgrade the spindle motor just so it can be used with the bigger cutting bits that can handle hardwoods better.
There are several options to use to design projects. Carveco, Vcarve and Easel are the most common that I have used. Each one is a little different and each has a different cost associated with it , but they all work well. There may be other software programs, but these three are the ones that I have used.
I like mine so far, had it for 3 days now, Where is that vibration coming from? I cannot track it down, I think its from the outer frame and echo underthe spoilboard. .... I am just installing some 2040 extrusion underneath the spoilboard, should rigid it up a bit and remove the sag. Im still waiting for some bits to be delivered so im stuck with the lame engraver bits included with machine. So far have engraved Red Oak, and Bamboo Flooring, Do you think this Z axis would handle a Dewalt DW660?_
The vibration could be from the spoilboard since there is no center support. I haven't notice any vibrations so far in the few projects that I have done with it. I think the Z axis should be able to handle a Dewalt router because they also sell an upgraded spindle mount for a 65-69mm router that will fit this machine.
In your opinion, could it be used for wood inlays? Thank you.

I’m Jimmy it’s new to me so I would like to know the different software I can use to make any project

Just take a look at the machine from the front your z axes looks to be on a slant to the right
Must be the angle of the photo or something.
