CNC router, the Glossary

Index CNC router

A computer numerical control (CNC) router is a computer-controlled cutting machine which typically mounts a hand-held router as a spindle which is used for cutting various materials, such as wood, composites, metals, plastics, glass, and foams.[1]

Application software

An application program (software application, or application, or app for short) is a computer program designed to carry out a specific task other than one relating to the operation of the computer itself, typically to be used by end-users.

See CNC router and Application software

Boat

A boat is a watercraft of a large range of types and sizes, but generally smaller than a ship, which is distinguished by its larger size or capacity, its shape, or its ability to carry boats.

See CNC router and Boat

Boring (manufacturing)

In machining, boring is the process of enlarging a hole that has already been drilled (or cast) by means of a single-point cutting tool (or of a boring head containing several such tools), such as in boring a gun barrel or an engine cylinder.

Composite material

A composite material (also called a composition material or shortened to composite, which is the common name) is a material which is produced from two or more constituent materials.

See CNC router and Composite material

Computer-aided design

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computers to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design.

See CNC router and Computer-aided design

Computer-aided manufacturing

Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) also known as computer-aided modeling or computer-aided machining is the use of software to control machine tools in the manufacturing of work pieces.

Foam

Foams are materials formed by trapping pockets of gas in a liquid or solid.

See CNC router and Foam

Glass

Glass is an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid.

See CNC router and Glass

Machining

Machining is a manufacturing process where a desired shape or part is created using the controlled removal of material, most often metal, from a larger piece of raw material by cutting.

See CNC router and Machining

A metal is a material that, when polished or fractured, shows a lustrous appearance, and conducts electricity and heat relatively well.

See CNC router and Metal

Milling (machining)

Milling is the process of machining using rotary cutters to remove material by advancing a cutter into a workpiece.

See CNC router and Milling (machining)

Milling cutter

Milling cutters are cutting tools typically used in milling machines or machining centres to perform milling operations (and occasionally in other machine tools).

See CNC router and Milling cutter

Molding (decorative)

Moulding (British English), or molding (American English), also coving (in United Kingdom, Australia), is a strip of material with various profiles used to cover transitions between surfaces or for decoration.

See CNC router and Molding (decorative)

Mortise and tenon

A mortise and tenon (occasionally mortice and tenon) joint connects two pieces of wood or other material.

See CNC router and Mortise and tenon

Numerical control

In machining, numerical control, also called computer numerical control (CNC), is the automated control of tools by means of a computer.

See CNC router and Numerical control

Panel saw

A panel saw is any type of sawing machine that cuts sheets into sized parts. CNC router and panel saw are woodworking machines.

Plastic

Plastics are a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that use polymers as a main ingredient.

See CNC router and Plastic

Polyurethane foam

Polyurethane foam is a specialist material used for thermal insulation and other applications.

Router (woodworking)

The router is a power tool with a flat base and a rotating blade extending past the base.

See CNC router and Router (woodworking)

In machine tools, a spindle is a rotating axis of the machine, which often has a shaft at its heart.

See CNC router and Spindle (tool)

Wood

Wood is a structural tissue found in the stems and roots of trees and other woody plants.

See CNC router and Wood

Wood carving

Wood carving is a form of woodworking by means of a cutting tool (knife) in one hand or a chisel by two hands or with one hand on a chisel and one hand on a mallet, resulting in a wooden figure or figurine, or in the sculptural ornamentation of a wooden object. CNC router and wood carving are Woodcarving.

See CNC router and Wood carving

Wood shaper

A wood shaper (usually just shaper in North America or spindle moulder in the UK and Europe), is a stationary woodworking machine in which a vertically oriented spindle drives one or more stacked cutter heads to mill profiles on wood stock. CNC router and wood shaper are woodworking machines.
