Estlcam
While roaming the youtube I stumbled about this CAM software.
http://www.estlcam.com/anleitung.php Seems pretty capable and very affordable (50 usd or 35eur) It has all that you need, pocket, profile, preview toolpath and 3D machining I installed it but had no time to test all the functions. Has Linuxcnc and Mach3 postp. It even has a implementation of trochoidal milling toolpath, its a toolpath where the endmill is engaged at full depth, maximize axial chip thinning and allow much higher feedrates. Don't know if this is usable on wood thou  http://www.estlcam.com/100w.php Forgot to mention ... its capable of sending the gcode directly to Arduino Uno and therefore control the machine directly .

Great link!
I particularly liked this video http://youtu.be/T4fn-tP1PuI that also demonstrates the trochoidal cutting technique really well. I learned something tonight.

I've been using ESTLCAM and found it a very good application the webpage and the application are a mix of German and English but the application is simple to use and makes good gcode. I really like that the output code is marked up with comments and messages.

Tried this myself and just couldn't get it, must be a bit slow. No undo, can't deselect anything you select by accident and a few other issues. I'll stick with Cambam thanks....

Estlecam is a very economical choice for beginners learning cnc. It does have its drawbacks - it only handles dxf files with single layers, and with that limitation it doesn't do 3d surfacing as someone suggested.
It is very easy to learn how to use, and is a perfect stepping stone to something a little more complicated and pricey. I've used estlecam on and off for about 6 months. With it I was able step up my understanding of cam programs enough to attempt to comprehend the benefits of a cad/cam package program.

Latest two versions of Estlecam do have a rudimentary 3d surfacing feature. It will handle an STL file and gives you few machining strategies.
