Overview
The shop could use a CNC machine. There are already designed and open CNC plans on the internet. The CNC machine work area should be 2'x4' or larger for sheet metal use.
A CNC machine is primarily used as a computer automated cutting tool. User inputs a file, the machine cuts out the part.
Applications
- Circuit board etching and drilling
- Wood cutting
- Acrylic etching
- Sheet metal cutting
