A CNC router, engraving machine, and drilling machine (also known as 3-axis milling system) is an automated computer numerical controlled (CNC) machine used to produce complex shapes or patterns in wood or other materials. The term ※milling§ refers to a repetitive cutting action that produces a shape by removing material from one side of the workpiece while leaving the other side intact
The CNC router is different from a traditional hand tool in that it can be programmed with computer software to control the movement of its spindle and cutting tools within defined limits. This allows you to create complex shapes with high precision using computerized methods
The engraver uses software similar to that of the CNC router to cut designs into wood, acrylic, or any other material. It is also programmed with software like that of the CNC router but can only engrave designs on specific materials such as wood or acrylic. The drilling machine is similar to its counterpart but has additional features such as a drill bit that moves vertically instead of horizontally like other machines.
