Re: CNC Router/Mill

Just having CNC equipment won't do you any good either.

You need an experienced operator who knows how to do setups and programming.

I started using a CNC mill about 4 years ago. I've been using one regularly for the last year or so. I've taken 5 classes, and I still barely know what I'm doing compared to a real machinist. I know experienced machinists who could take a drawing and do the setup/programming/cutting in 1/3 the time it would take me. Without a strong background in cnc programming, you're going to be wasting a lot of time making scrap, or nothing at all.
