A CNC router is a computerized woodworking machine - basically a router mounted on a positioning system. While it may also be able to handle other materials depending on the bits you use, a proper CNC mill is more precise for machining parts out of metals and other non-wood materials.

There is also an interesting new approach of handheld CNC routing coming out which may remove the size constraints that come with any fixed-frame machine.

We have ordered the WorkBee CNC, which is based on the Openbuilds OX. It will fill the CNC Room and also needs a large table construction.

Details on setting it up can be found in issue #8 - maybe you would like to help?
