What's a CNC Router?
You're guess is as good as mine! I know what a router is... so I'm guessing it's just a machine that does it for us. Let's find out, shall we?
(After reading a webpage provided by teacher)
I was right! If you know what a router is then picture it in your mind and then imagine it able to work on its own. You don't have to hold the garsh darn thing for 30 minutes! Your frames don't have to look crap anymore! It also says, and I quote, "Guitar Making CNC Router" because you can cut the big hole in the middle! I like that. It was kinda funny because I'm imagining someone say, "hey can I use this machine for something other than to make a guitar?" and then the other student laughing and saying "No! It's a guitar making CNC Router!" I have a weird sense of humor I get it.

What Type of Router Does My School Have?
We have the HS CNC Router HS48X48. I'm guessing HS stands for High School? I'm not stressing over it.
What's Something I Learned About the Router?
It's a nice little package! Comes together so it's already better than IKEA! It includes 3-1/4HP router, wrenches, the welded steel stand, the dust hood, and a kit of starter bits! How nice.
If I Could Make ANYTHING With the CNC Router... What Would it Be?
For D&D props are a big thing. You'll find weapons galore at Comic Cons. Not real (most of the time) but definitely look it! Anyways if I was allowed to I would print this sword. Which yes I haphazardly photoshopped a different hilt onto a different blade. Don't criticize me.
If that's too lethal I could always use a staff as well. |
Summary
Did you think all routers did was make a nice frame? Well you are WRONG. Go look up some cool things people have made with the CNC router! Honestly the worst thing you can do is not try to make something you've always dreamed of into reality. Telling yourself "the machine can't do this" when in all reality it probably could? You're just losing a chance at making something amazing. If you have questions, ask them! Expand, experiment, and if the machine starts on fire then just put it out, no reason to get all freaked out. ;)
Seriously though, you can do really crazy cool things, it just takes really cool machines to do it. And that brilliant mind of yours helps too. As always, have fun creating friends and stay safe.
