They are quick to add that their personal touches are all still there in their work, albeit done faster now than before. Where precise-fitting assemblies (dados, rabbets, inlays, arches, bas relief carvings) used to be difficult to produce using the traditional tools, CNC technology did all of them quickly and efficiently. Twins Mirror images are perfect when creating right and left hand parts. Experts, however, warned to watch it out when machining the mirrored part. If the first part was programmed using G41 and climb milling, machining the mirrored part needs at least an extra 0.01 to the rough cutter. The reason is that on the mirrored part you will be doing conventional milling. Another part of the CNC wood router is the cutting bed. This is where the material that would undergo cutting is placed and secured using bolts and clamps. There are different cutting bed designs, the most popular would be the T-slot and the vacuum table. The efficiency of the cutting bed would be based on what kinds of materials and cut are made. According to managers of machining centers, it is no longer just large manufacturers who are buying CNC equipments. Shops who have two to four people would also purchase CNC machines to help in their production. Craftsmen have realized that by using simple CNC equipments, they are able to produce more of their crafts, with high quality, therefore, increasing their sales. Given these benefits, it is very likely that businessmen, from small businesses to large scale woodwork business, will use CNC machines for their production. How does it work? CNC machines are programmed and controlled by a software. The design that would be followed by the machine is used by the CAD module. The ShopBot CNC cuts materials like a saw on the X or Y direction and on any diagonal. It can cut any depth, can cut circles, holes, arcs, ellipses, and curves. A woodworker s array of shop tools includes a table saw, a drill press, a chop saw, a lathe, a router, band saw, a joiner/planer, and a shaper or a panel saw.
