Today's woodworking hobbyist may consider obtaining a CNC router or lathe to accomplish various woodwork projects.
CNC woodworking is a computer controlled process used for making specific items such as cabinets, doors and others. CNC woodwork equipment has long been the domain of manufacturers and factories producing commercial products. However, smaller models are available now for the home woodwork shop.
CNC routers and wood lathes are used for cutting intricate designs. A CNC wood lathe lets you create items such as stair rails, and table legs, or you can use it to cut lumber into plywood or for materials to be used in veneers.To use this tool, the woodworker programs the software to perform a certain number of turns. You can use these lathes on any kind of timber imaginable, as well as on metallic materials including brass and aluminum.
Hobbyists can locate these woodworking tools in different sizes. For the hobbyist with a small space or limited interest, portable models can be mounted on a bench or tabletop.
Decide which size of CNC lathe is best for you based on the amount of woodwork projects you will be doing and the types and sizes of timber pieces you will be using.
Here is an interesting video demonstrating how to make a baseball bat using a CNC woodwork lathe.
What a cool idea for woodwork projects.
