If you need to run Autocad, there are numerous solutions on my crossplatform FAQ:

Most any ethernet router will route a Mac that has built-in ethernet, which is all of the new ones, and most any wireless access point supports 802.11b and 802.11g which all the Macs also support. I've not heard of CNC routers, but if they are like other computer routers to route internet connections, they should work fine with the Mac.

CNC Machinist used to be available for the Mac, but I can only find some reference to it on Google. Maybe if you dig deep enough you'll find it. Regardless here's a strange idea, maybe use Lego Mindstorms which is available for the Mac. I'm sure a creative mind could create the right kind of tool to go with it for CNC users:
