They contend that automating the cutting process brings profits and that customers want accurate parts, with less waste, less labor and shorter lead times. Technological advances There is more upbeat news in CNC technology. Experts observed that advancement in software, the 4 and 5 axis capabilities, and other related technological progressions are born faster and that the machinery is getting more versatile. CNC lathes can be programmed by the user. The computer takes the design information and moves the lathe accordingly as it follows the design embedded in the programmed data. How it works CNC lathes can do many different kinds of work, with turning as the most common. Turning is working on a piece that is turning at high speed while a removable machine tool cuts away extraneous materials from that piece. Operations are halted right away. This improves efficiency in the optimum use of raw materials. Another big factor is the overall speed in projects completion or delivery of finished products. Products that take multiple steps to produce are now quickly finished. This translates into savings in time and money and consequently increases profits. 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. Determining the size of CNC router you need would help you figure out the components/parts you may need and the corresponding budget. Figuring out the budget will help you narrow down your choices, whether you are buying a kit or build one yourself. If you have mechanical or CNC building background, then it would not be necessary for you to have the kits. Once you have settled the necessary and technical details of your woodworking business, you need to start marketing your company. Start by advertising in local newspapers and magazines, you could also think about advertising in the local television. An inexpensive way of promoting your business is by asking friends and relative to give out promotional items and spread the word.
