The Meaningful of Four Head Woodworking CNC Router

3d Woodworking CNC Router with 4 head suitable for solid wood and composite doors, cabinet doors, large-scale plate engraving, real wood carving flower router milling, plate furniture carving, antique mahogany furniture carving, solid wood art mural sculpture and other industries, watch box, craft photo frame, calligraphy plaque, electrical counter face, sporting goods equipment, thin aluminum engraving and milling carving.

The Origin of CNC routers

Where traditional mills and routers are large handheld or table-mounted spindles for analog carving jobs, the CNC router sophisticates things, introducing pinpoint accuracy in three axes and allowing you to produce end-use and, more importantly, sellable, objects right before your eyes. And perhaps best of all, you can pick up a decent one for somewhere in the region of $300.

The majority of CNC machines come in kits that require you to build the machine yourself. These are mostly pretty sizeable objects and so it makes sense that many are shipped in pieces –just something to keep in mind as we run you through this list of the top CNC routers worth knowing right now.

CNC Wood Routers Use Drive for Precision Control

The woodworking industry is as advanced and under pressure to deliver high-quality goods quickly as any. One of the most versatile tools devised to quicken production with flat panels of wood is the wood router, used to rout (hollow out) an area in the face of a piece of wood, and used for 3D design, cabinets, sign making, molds, and general material cutting. The table-like device, similar to a metal mill, consists of a broad-based wooden hand plane with a narrow gantry-carried cutting implement projecting beyond its base plate. To guide its computer numerical controlled (CNC) ATC wood routers, WartHog CNC (Soddy-Daisy, TN) turned to YET US’s (Manchester, NH) XtraDrive servo drive system, integrating it into the routers’ precision and power controls.

CNC Routers & Accessories

A CNC router (Or Computer Numerical Control router) is a computer-controlled cutting machine used for cutting various hard materials, such as wood, composites, aluminium, steel, plastics, and foams. CNC routers can perform the tasks of many workshop machines such as panel saws, spindle moulder/router tables, and the boring machines. A CNC router is very similar in concept to a CNC milling machine. Instead of routing by hand, tool paths are controlled via computer numerical control – most commonly by designing the cutting path on a computer, then loading that cutting path into the machine which then moves on three axes’ to cut the desired shape.

Of course there is a wide variety of sizes and shapes of machines, plus infinite applications for both home woodworkers and cabinet shops – with attachments such as laser cutters and fourth axis controllers to increase functionality. Plus there is a lot that can be done by using a wide variety of different cutters.
