If you're in the market for a CNC Router, and sifting through CNC Router reviews to find the best machine for you, this video guides you on 3 types of CNC routers to avoid and why. CNC routers are woodworking tools that augment your workshop projects, and they should last for years.
First are desktop CNC routers, also commonly known as 3018 units. Desktops have a very small working area which limits what you can make. They are typically underpowered, which not only restricts the variety of projects you can make but also leads to the premature wear of CNC router bits because the recommended feeds and speeds must be reduced below the required settings.
CNC Routers made of wood can be an interesting material for construction, but wood is not a stable material for the precision required in CNC routing. Wood is susceptible to humidity and temperature changes which can lead to warping, affecting the machine's alignment and consistency. Wood machines also flex under loads required to carve, which leaves rough cuts.
Belt-driven CNC routers are less of an issue than the previous types. The issue with belts lies in belt tension. If not set too loose, your carvings will be inconsistent. Too tight risks belts snapping mid-carve. CNC router companies often do not give adequate guidance on the proper settings of timing belt settings, nor do they provide the necessary tools to set the tension.
To ensure you buy a CNC router that will last for years, it is best to metal frames, and screw-driven systems, with large cutting areas.
