CNC routers are a great way to carve wood, plastic and many other materials into beautiful objects. In this guide I will give the basics needed to get started with CNC machines
CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. This means that the machine is controlled by a computerized system which has the ability to move its parts very precisely. The machine can be programmed with software which allows you to cut parts out of wood, plastic or other materials. It's almost like having a 3D printer in your home except that it's much more powerful than any consumer grade printer on the market today
