Writing small sub-programs (others call them templates) will save you some sizeable time (and keystroke efforts), most especially on codes that are repeated over and over.

It is controlled, as mentioned by the CNC controller and the computer software. This would direct the movements of the motor to produce the design or shape. The software would have the drawing or the format in 2D or 3D image, it would then be converted into a tool path code like the G-code. The codes which are converted by the computer software would then send or relay it to the CNC controller which would control the motors and drive systems. Though the benefits may be great, there are still woodworkers who are not confident enough with their CNC router building skills. Others may have technical background, while others may be completely clueless. To help woodworkers, there are different websites and forum where they can interact with other woodworkers and ask them about their CNC router building experience.
