Re: CNC is Knocking on Your Shop Door. Will You Answer?
This debate reminds me of the fears that skilled metal workers had when CNC took over a great deal of machining that used to be handled solely by skilled machinists, who hand worked machines large and small to get the finished metal that they wanted. For those that can afford CNC equipment, they'll try it out, and either stick with it or not. The cost entry into the CNC world is still too pricey for many people, and the required tech level may seem daunting to some as well. All these problems were once faced by the metal working world as well. They worked through them, and now CNC dominates, with all the background support that it requires, and the new found skills that it takes to get the work out of these types of machines.
posted: 10:04 am on September 7thIf we remember how the Industrial Revolution changed both metal working and woodworking ,with access to machines that allowed faster and more accurate work out of skilled craftsman, maybe then the coming CNC "revolution" won't seem so different. I'm surpised it took this long to filter into woodworking after it took machining and fabrication by storm.
