The internet is a great source for information. But there are no guarantees that ALL information offered on the internet is credible. Double check the information you have gathered online, ask and verify with other woodworkers and professionals. When designing your CNC router, it is important to come up with a good and solid plan. This would create a more accurate and precise design compared to those which are done manually. A CNC router would have three directions which are referred to as X, Y and Z axis. Since all of the axis work together, they can create better designs and shapes. How does the CNC wood router works? It is controlled, as mentioned by the CNC controller and the computer software. 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. It is the Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) which ensures that the movement of the motor or the machine is controlled. Once the machine is already set-up, using it would be easy. It could work for 24 ours straight or even for the entire year. What it would need is just an occasional break for its regular schedule of maintenance. This would help you get an idea how suppliers operate and build stronger relationships with them. Consider your working space, where you will be operating. You could have an extension in your home which you could maximize or have a separate location from your home. Make sure that you will also be settling legal matters like business permits and taxes before operating. Always check for the compatibility of the software and the computer you are using. Check the system requirements the software needs for it to be fully operational. Also check your computer s operating system, memory, hard drive space and other important specifications. Make sure that you computer would be supporting the program/ software, the least you want is your system breaking down on an important and crucial occasion.
