Where both excel is in making signs and relief carvings. Either will mill a rough board smooth or texture a smooth board to make it rough.
Neither can slice a plywood sheet into cabinet parts, but either can cut small parts - drawer fronts, for example, or door panels - complete with joinery cuts, profiling and decorative carving. Even home routers on today's market can create intricate and impressive carving projects with the aid of computer mapping programs.įor this feature, I’ve got a pair of CNC routers in my basement shop. So now, you can buy a turn-key package, bolt the parts together in an hour or so, load a program into your home computer and, by the end of the day, start doing some real CNC woodworking. They cost way more than top of-the-line router tables, but half what low-end ShopBots do. Then along came visible-l-inline CNC routers. The cost of even these smaller machines, though, was still out of my reach. Over time, however, I’ve found some manufacturers, notably ShopBot, making downsized machines. Of course, many of the machines were bigger than my shop and cost more than my house.

Full sheets of plywood would slide in one end and cabinet parts - complete with joinery cuts, holes for shelving pins, pilots for mounting screws and even decorative grooving - would emerge on the other.
