MasterCam isn't for running the machine, but rather for programming the tool paths - it is awesome programming software for sure. You would need a cnc controller program to run the machine via computer - Mach is quite popular for windows operation...powerful and inexpensive (free for up to 1000 lines of code, which isn't much once you get going, but allows you to get to know the software for free). artofcnc.com is their website I think.
