The umbrella group of woodworking recognize the fact that with CNC, they are branching into other materials soft metals and plastic as of now. With new CNC machines coming into the picture, the output from these machines run the range of very simple to the very complex. They can create sophisticated shapes as dictated by the program. The top consideration, of course, is the ratio of safety. Since the entire machining is automated, the operator is kept out of harm s way and assures his safety. Aside from keeping him alive (which is priceless), the high cost factor in cases of accidents and deaths are minimized and drastically reduced. 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. Templates and versions Knock-down furniture pieces are notorious for being very time-consuming in designing and getting the parts together perfectly. Innovations Even without fanfare, there is a growing list of innovations in the CNC woodworking industry that has kept it going and it is pretty exciting. Some of the cutting edge innovations include 5-axis heads, moldings units, expanded range of aggregates, and the ability of the pods and rails to be electronically positioned. What can the performance be like? Can the machine justify its price? The underlying aspect of all these questions is the fact that the smaller guy most likely has a smaller budget and naturally fidgety. Commitment However, the first consideration when thinking of buying a CNC machine is a simple commitment. CNC Woodworking Machine s Advantages Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) woodworking equipment is facilitated with a Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software that will control the machine, like a CNC router. A CAD module would send the instructions to the machine to control it. CNC equipments are meant to increase operations especially in the manufacturing industry.
