Used cnc routers

New Grant Puts Students Into New Woodworking Generation While many kids take woodshop in high school as a requirement, there are many who actually enjoy the class and find it to be a time where they can creatively express themselves. With all the new developments and technological milestones within woodworking, the use of computer-controlled tools is gaining popularity.

CNC routers are becoming a huge part of the industrial wood shops and at-home woodshops due to their efficiency and ability to produce products that would take days to do by hand.

One teacher wrote a letter to his town’s Educational Foundation in hopes of receiving a grant to fund his project of purchasing a CNC router and incorporating it into his curriculum. Upon the grant’s approval, he was given enough money to purchase a copy of the router’s program, the actual router, and the laptop to run the machine. The whole concept behind new as well as used CNC routers is that it allows you to see your design before the wood is shaped and carved accordingly.

According to this teacher, “The machine uses the most efficient path to create the carving to reduce both carving time and machine wear. To watch the machine in action is very impressive; the precision and accuracy of the movements is almost unattainable by a human.” He continued by saying that the router has been very educational not just for his students, but for him as well. Now, his class can create projects that they would have never been able to accomplish without a new or used CNC router.
