A CNC (computerized numerical control) router is a computer controlled cutting device that enables the operator to cut a wide range of materials including: wood, acrylic, metal, foam, plastics, and composites. A CNC router alone can perform the precise tasks of many workshop machines, such as:
- spindle moulder
- boring machine
- panel saw
- planer
They can also cut mortises and tenons.
Even though a CNC router cannot replace all your workshop tools adding one to your tool kit still gives you a lot of advantages, such as:
- You can use them continuously with only occasional maintenance.
- Because you can program a CNC with a specific design, you can use it to produce hundreds of exact replicas.
- Unlike manual milling machines or lathes, a CNC operator need not have as much training or experience.
- A CNC router is easily improved by maintain the machine.
- By using design software such as Pro/DESKTOP®, you will be able to create products that cannot be made using manual machines.
- Contemporary design software allows you to get straight to creating your design, without having to make a model or prototype.
- Once the CNC machines have been programmed, a single operator can supervise many machines, so long as the cutting tools are replaced as and when needed.
- Though CNC machines are more expensive to buy than manual tools their high productivity and adaptability make them valuable additions in the long term.
- Because CNC machines are becoming more popular, prices are decreasing.
