Desktop CNC Router Buying Guide

Using a CNC router, you can make special dedicated wood designs for your various home projects. If you’re wanting, you can even purchase special kits that can give you excellent routing and even engraving capabilities. The best for these home-based projects are desktop model CNC routers, so it’s important that you follow these special tips so you know what to buy.

What Do You Expect?

When it comes to buying your router, you need to know what types of projects you want to use it for and make sure that you get a product that is able to do what you actually want it to do. If you’re wanting to do multi-level seamless carving (like creating custom-carved chair or table legs that you want to seamlessly go with the chair or tabletop), then you want to choose a machine that can actually do this for you properly.

Can You Afford It?

Most of the time, these machines (the top-quality ones at least) aren’t very cheap. But they’re extremely efficient, so you’re going to pay for the machine not only with cash value, but also labor and the time it takes to actually run your project. You may be able to lease it if needed.

The Bigger the Better

While you may not be using a professional industrial-grade machine, generally the larger and heavier the machine, the better and more precise it can be when it comes to doing the work. The unfortunate part of this is that these machines also cost more.

The Software

Using a CNC machine takes special types of software that many may come with, but usually, you have to do other things (like the CAD work) in programs like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, CorelDraw, and even AutoCAD. There are other brands of software, but these are probably the most popular, and the largest name brands available. However, some of these may not be compatible with your machine. Because of this, you need to make sure that you have the designated software (which can also be somewhat expensive) that works for your machine so you can create the best project results possible. Fortunately, though, if you play your cards right, you can generally expect that especially if you’re selling items that you make, you can generally expect your CNC router to pay for itself in the long run.

Know Your Productivity

As mentioned above with the paying itself off, you need to know the volume of work you plan on doing before you purchase any CNC desktop router. By doing so, you can maximize your work flow, as well as use a tool in order to make it. Some types are only excellent for Mac computers, while others are optimized for others.

Conclusion

Cancam CNC routers are a great gift when it comes to your personal and hobby projects. Because of their unique small and portable design, they make a great desktop and workshop companion so you can make custom furniture, items, and even carpentry or construction projects without having to do all of the work with your hands. With a desktop CNC router, you don’t have to buzz your hands off to make a unique design into your woodworking material, and you don’t have to assemble Cancam routers, because they come preassembled.
