In general, it is no longer a question of adding a CNC equipment or not. Woodworkers and manufacturers already know its importance and benefits. Rather, it has become what functions a CNC equipment must possess. Wood workers and customers are looking for CNC machines that has greater speed, enhanced tool changing, more flexible, higher value and can combine several functions. In fact, as some enthusiasts cheerfully declare, the innovation only added to the fine quality and uniqueness of their creations. 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. All you need is have a plan and build your CNC wood work. There are also CNC router kits and plans. However, some builders feel that following the directions, exactly as they are, fails to meet their needs. Since they have to follow the plan, considerations in designs and sizes (or whatever the builder needs or wants) may not be accommodated by the plan. Woodworking as a form of art was preserved in ancient Egyptian furniture, tombs, and drawings. Since then, woodworking continued to expand, develop and has undergone so much that it has become mechanized to guarantee consistent designs, thus, CNC woodworking. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. CNC Lathes These specialized tools are machines that spin a piece of material to carve a specific finished product, or other various forms of work on them. Controlled by computer programs, CNC lathes can be programmed to do a variety of functions. These can include metalworking and spinning, glass working and wood turning. This mindset will go a long way in dealing with the machine and the people who will deal with it. Consider the following factors that are needed to be met time to learn the machine s software, time to learn proper dust collection and hold-down techniques, and time to train new employees. The CNC machine can only do what its operators want it to.
