Why do you use CNC Router instead of a Hand-Held Router?
Choosing a CNC router over a hand-held router provides distinct advantages:
Precision and Accuracy: CNC routers offer superior precision, ensuring consistent and accurate cuts compared to hand-held routers.
Repeatability: CNC routers excel in reproducing identical cuts, crucial for mass production, while hand-held routers may result in variations.
Automation and Efficiency: CNC routers operate automatically, increasing efficiency and reducing production time compared to manual hand-held routing.
Complex Designs: CNC routers handle intricate designs effortlessly through computer programming, a challenge for hand-held routers.
Consistency and Reduction of Human Error: CNC routers ensure consistency across multiple pieces and reduce the risk of human error associated with hand-held routing.
Versatility in Materials: CNC routers work with various materials, making them suitable for a wide range of applications compared to hand-held routers.
Cost Efficiency: While initial setup and programming may require skilled designer, the actual operation of CNC machines requires minimal human intervention. This leads to reduced labour costs and can contribute to overall cost savings.
