re: CNC routers

CNC is a lot like laser engravers…it makes a difference because you can do just about anything with one, as long as it stays withing the scope of the xy&z…

I’ll stick my neck out here and say it’s not really woodwork, it is beautiful but it’s basically painting with a stensil. I appreciate that it’s a lot of work to create the stensil and I have no lack of respect for the skill and patience it takes to create it.

I suppose you could use one to make traditional joinery, but why would you when it can carve butterflies landing on stars and you can use a saw to cut a tenon for 20 bucks?

Still….Just my opinion… If you want engraving, lots of folks can do it for you.
