Maximize Your Woodworking Potential with A CNC Router Machine

CNC Wood Router

A designer knows how much effort and dedication it requires to cut out the design for woodworking he wants to achieve. To make your effort more effective, a smart CNC wood router can bring greater support.

To showcase your creativity or to make your business boom, you can always count on STYLECNC to get your desired computer-controlled wood router. SYLECNC is trusted since 2003 with almost all kinds of precise cutting solution.

At the same time, this piece of writing includes advanced piece of instructions, guidelines, and recommendations that will come handy in times of choosing your desired automatic wood CNC machine.

If that is why you are here, let's get started.

What Is A CNC Wood Router?

A CNC wood router is an automatic computer-controlled machine tool for smart 2D, 2.5D, and 3D cutting, milling, carving, drilling, and grooving on popular woodworking plans, including wood arts & crafts, signs making, cabinets making, door making, gifts, modeling, decorations, wardrobe, and more furniture making projects & ideas.

Such a CNC router consists of bed frame, spindles, vacuum table or T-slot table, controller, operating system, software, gantry, driver, motor, vacuum pump, guide rail, pinion, rack, ball screw, collet, limit switch, power supply, and some additional parts & accessories.

How Does A Wood CNC Machine Work?

A wood CNC machine uses computer signals as instructions to control the movement, timing, logic and other functions through the computer, so as to drive the spindle and bits to complete woodworking automation.

Unlike handheld, palm, plunge, plunge base, and fixed base routers, the functional software of a CNC wood router is CAD/CAM. CAD software allows users to create the designs they wish to work on a woodworking CNC machine. After completing this design, the CAM software will convert the design into a tool path code that the wood CNC machine can understand. Then, the computer converts this code into a signal that controls the movement of the drive system of the machine. The drive system includes a spindle, which is the part that saves the actual machine position. The spindle rotates 8,000 to 50,000 times per minute to cut the material. In short, the user creates a design and uses the software to make instructions for the machine.

3 axis table kit cuts along three axes at the same time: X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis. X axis makes the router bit move from front to back, Y axis makes it move from left to right, and Z axis makes it move up and down. They are used to cut 2D flat woodworking projects.

Compared with 3 axis, 5 axis machine tools can cut along two additional axes. These automatic computer-controlled machine tools can cut five sides of a piece of material at the same time, thereby expanding the capabilities and flexibility of operators. Unlike their 3-axis counterparts, these computer-controlled 5 axis machine tools are usually used to cut large 3D woodworking projects. In addition, 5 axis table kits have a higher gantry and a longer X-axis, which allows them to cut larger woodworking projects. However, if the gantry is higher and the X-axis is longer, the accuracy and stability will be worse. For proper quality control, the height of the gantry and the length of the X-axis should be limited as much as possible. Although computer-controlled woodworking routers look like simple power tools, they are highly complex technologies and require a certain amount of expertise to operate. 5 axis CNC wood milling machines tend to be more expensive than traditional 3 axis CNC wood routers, but ultimately provide high quality, greater flexibility, allowing users to use their designs more creatively.

What Are The Types Of Wood CNC Machines?

To categorize the types of an automatic woodworking machine, three possible categories can be made:

Types based on table sizes (work area): 2x3 table tops, 2x4 table tops, 4x4 table tops, 4x6 table tops, 4x8 table tops, 5x10 table tops, 6x12 table tops.

Types based on applications: Home types, Desktop types, 3D types, Hobby types, Commercial types, Industrial types.

Types based on axis: 5 axis, 4 axis, 4th axis (rotary axis), and 3 axis CNC wood routers.

What Are CNC Wood Routers Used For?

These automatic machine tools are mostly used for woodworkers and carpenters to do woodworking in industrial manufacturing, small business, small shop, home business, home shop, school education. Besides, craftsman and hobbyists will also find a computer-controlled wood CNC machine useful.

Here are some of the fields where a CNC wood router will have access:

Furniture Making: home furniture, art furniture, antique furniture, office furniture, cabinet making, door making, cabinet doors, interior doors, home doors, cupboard doors, table legs, sofa legs, wood spindles, corners, screens, headboards, composite gates, MDF projects, wood crafts, wood arts.

How To Choose The Best Controller For Woodworking?

Computerized Controller

That is, by installing a control card on the PCI slot of the computer motherboard, and installing the software driver on the computer to control the walking of the machine's X, Y, Z axis and the rotation of the spindle motor, the processing effect can be previewed, and you can see it at any time to the processing track, if the program loading error can be corrected in time.

The controller has a humanized interface, simple and convenient operation, complete functions, and high program compatibility. Various CAM software can be imported directly or indirectly.

Handle DSP Controller

That is, you can control the movement of the machine in your hand. It saves space and does not occupy a computer; the disadvantage is that the operation is relatively troublesome, after all, all functions are integrated on a control panel, and it is easy to press the wrong function keys if the operation is unskilled.

It is widely used with various computerized woodworking machines (including four-axis linkage) without occupying a separate computer, which greatly reduces the footprint of the equipment and is more convenient for tool setting.

The disadvantage is that there is no preview and other functions, and the interface is not as intuitive as a computer.

All-In-One Controller

Independent integrated design, using industrial computer, PLC and other integrated control, rich interfaces, complete functions, can realize multi-axis control and automatic tool change.

It's mainly used for high-end computerized wood carving machines, computerized woodworking machining centers, and some computer-controlled milling machines, the anti-interference ability of the control system, as well as all aspects of performance, control accuracy and more, which are better than other types. The controller is integrated in the computerized operating system. It is not the mainstream, but it is the mainstream of the all-in-one type in the controller.

The disadvantage is that the price is high and the operability tends to be CNC wood cutting machine. For some customers, the operation is not as simple as the former.

How To Choose The Best Router Bits For Wood?

In woodworking, many details can affect the quality, accuracy and appearance of the final woodworking project, especially the selection of router bits for woodworking.

Choosing the right tool according to different processing materials and different machining processes is an important factor to ensure fast and efficient production.

What type of router bit is best for woodworking? What can each tool do in woodworking?

Flat bottom or column router bits, mostly rely on the side edge for cutting, and the bottom edge is mainly used for flat polishing. The end face of the head of the column router bit is large, and the working efficiency is high. It is mainly used for contour cutting, milling plane, area and surface rough carving.

Another relatively common type is straight, which is often used to carve large characters. The edge of the material cut by it is straight, which is generally used for PVC and acrylic cutting to make characters.

Milling cutter is the most common tool in automatic woodworking. Milling cutters are divided into many types according to their shapes.

For example, double-edged spiral milling cutters used when cutting acrylic and MDF, single-edged spiral ball-end milling cutters for large deep relief processing of cork, MDF, solid wood, and acrylic. It is a prismatic milling cutter used when making high-density boards, solid wood doors, and furniture.

Of course, many tool manufacturers will also make special tools according to the special requirements of many customers, such as large chip-removing spiral milling cutters that are more suitable for cutting density boards and chip removal. The round bottom cutter is more suitable for precision small relief carving.

The cutting edge of a ball end tool is arc-shaped, forming a hemisphere during the carving process of the wood cutting machine, the process is evenly stressed and the cutting is stable. Ball tools are not suitable for milling planes.

Bullnose bit is a mixture of fluted column bit and ball end bit. In addition, it has the features of a ball end bit to carve curved surfaces, and on the other hand, it has the features of a fluted column bit and can be used for plane milling.

Tapered flat bottom bits, abbreviated as tapered bits. They have the widest range of applications in the carpentry. The bottom edge of the cone bit, commonly known as the tip, is similar to a column bit, and can be used for the finishing of small planes. The side edge of the cone bit is inclined at a certain angle to form an inclined side surface during the working process.

The structural features of the cone bit can enable it to achieve the unique three-dimensional angle clearing effect of the carving industry. Cone bits are mainly used for single-line carving, area rough carving, area fine carving, 3D clear angle, projection carving, image gray scale carving.

Tapered end mill, referred to as tapered ball nose bit. It's a mixture of cone milling cutter and ball milling cutter. Furthermore, it has the features of a cone cutter with a small tip, and on the other hand, it has the features of a ball bit, which can mill relatively fine curved surfaces.

Tapered bullnose bit is a mixture of cone bit and bullnose bit. Moreover, it has the features of a cone shaped bit to cut relatively fine curved surfaces, and on the other hand, it has a bullnose shaper cutter. Because of its features, the tapered bullnose router bit is often used for relief carving.

The V-Groove router bits are designed to cut deep or shallow V-shaped grooves.

Drill bits are mainly used for drilling. When the hole is relatively shallow, clearing bottom router bits can be used to drill holes.

How To Use A CNC Wood Router?

Step 1. Turn On Machine.

Before starting up, ensure that all connections between the computer-controlled wood cutting machine and the computer are normal, and then turn on the power supply of the machine and the computer to enter the system.

Step 2. Mechanical Reset.

After starting the system (the system will judge whether the kit has "returned to the machine origin" before entering the active machining), the "return to machine origin" prompt dialog box will appear first, click the corresponding button, and the computer-controlled wood carving machine will automatically return to the wood carving machine origin. And proofread the coordinate system.

Step 3. Check I/O Status.

Check the input and output status of each signal, check whether there is a fault signal, to ensure that the machine can process safely.

Step 4. Load File.

Before machining, the user usually needs to load the required file, otherwise all the functions of the active machining are invalid.

Select [File (F)] -> [Open and Load (O)...] menu, a Windows standard file operation dialog box will pop up, and you can select the file to be cut. Perhaps click the right mouse button in the active machining window to pop up a shortcut menu, select [Open and Load (O)...], and select the desired processing file in the pop-up file operation dialog box. Then after clicking the "Open" button, the processing program is loaded into the system. At this moment, you can click on the "Active" window to check the current file.

Step 5. Manual Operation.

Display manual operation interface.

Click the [Manual] window with the mouse, a manual operation interface will appear, on this interface, you can manually operate the CNC machine for woodworking.

Manually move.

Manual movement can be completed by clicking the corresponding button on the manual operation interface with the mouse. You can also manually move the wood machine through the small number keys on the keyboard. Note that you must first switch the input focus to the manual window. The detailed method is to switch to the manual window first, then click any position of the manual window with the left mouse button, and press the corresponding number key on the keyboard to complete the manual movement.

Step 6. Set Origin of Project.

The origin of X, Y, Z, A coordinates in the programming is the project origin. Before machining, first manually move the wood machine's X, Y, Z, and A axis to the orientation of the project origin desired by the user, and clear the coordinate value of the current orientation in the coordinate window (or select [Operation (O )]->[Set the current point as the origin of the project]), so that the current orientation is used as the origin of the project for machining when the programming is executed.

Care & Maintenance

In order to keep all parts of the machine in good condition, it is important to insist on regular maintenance. This can eliminate many potential failures in the bud and prevent vicious accidents from happening. Operators should form a good habit of frequently maintaining the equipment used.

Before turning on the machine every day, check whether the communication line, motor line, and optocoupler line are loose, and whether the voltage is stable. Then turn on the power of the machine, operate the machine to move back and forth twice, and start working.

The water-cooled spindle machine tool should ensure the cleanness of the cooling water and the normal operation of the water pump. The water-cooled spindle motor must not be short of water. The cooling water should be replaced regularly to prevent the water temperature from being too high. The circulating water should be as much as possible, and a large capacity can be replaced water tank.

Regularly clean the heat dissipation and ventilation system of the circuit box. Please regularly check whether the fans on the electric control box are working normally. Regularly clean the dust in the electric control box with a vacuum cleaner and check whether the terminal screws are loose to ensure the safety and reliability of the circuit. use.

Clean the dust and debris on the exposed guide rail (polished rod), and clean it with No. 2 engine oil. After cleaning, add butter or No. 2 lithium-based grease.

Clean the sensor (optocoupler, proximity switch) to prevent dust, powder and oil from sticking to the sensor, affecting its sensitivity or causing false touch.

Move the machine head to the lower left or lower right position to stop to prevent collision, and then cut off the power supply; do not unplug the plug while it is live.

Maintenance when it is not in use for a long time: When the machine tool is not in use for a long time, it should be powered on 1-2 times a week, especially in the rainy season when the ambient humidity is high, and the machine tool should be run empty for about an hour. Use the heat of electrical components to dissipate the moisture in the numerical control system to ensure stable and reliable performance of electronic devices.

Maintenance of the inverter: The inverter has been debugged before leaving the factory. It is forbidden to debug and change the line without permission to prevent damage to the motor or the inverter due to data input errors.

After one day's work is completed, take off the router bit first, and let the spindle chuck and lock nut be in a loose state. Doing so will help extend the life of the spindle chuck. Then we start to clean the work surface, which can be cleaned with a brush; note that it is best not to accumulate debris on the work surface to avoid deformation of the platform.

The door of the electric control box should be opened as little as possible, and it is forbidden to open the door to work. Generally, there will be dust, wood chips or metal powder in the air during working. Once they fall on the circuit board or electronic devices in the electric control box, it is easy to cause damage. The insulation resistance between devices decreases, and even damages components and circuit boards.

Regularly check whether the screws of each part of the machine are loose.

Vacuum pump maintenance tips:

The wire mesh in the suction port of the water circulation air pump is used to prevent foreign dust particles from entering the pump body. The filter mesh should be kept clean at all times to avoid clogging and reduce the pumping speed of the pump. When the water pump is not in use, it should be powered on for a few minutes every few days to prevent the pump body from rusting and cannot operate normally. Loosen the butterfly nut of the vacuum pump, take out the paper filter element and clean the filter screen regularly with high-pressure air. If the filter element is found to be not ventilated smoothly or damaged, it should be replaced in time. According to the length of use, a high-pressure oil gun can be used to oil the bearings of each part.

Operate in strict accordance with the instructions for use and abide by safe use regulations.

Troubleshooting

1. The motor makes abnormal noise.

Check the motor for overload; the motor may have an internal fault. At this time, it should be repaired or replaced in time.

2. The motor is in the opposite direction.

Directly check whether the motor line is out of phase or change the output UVW terminal (that is, the connection line between the inverter and the spindle motor).

3. The spindle motor heats up.

First check whether the water pump is working, and then check whether the circulating water is lower than the liquid level.

4. The motor is weak or unable to rotate.

Check the circuit, check whether the motor line is out of phase, and whether the cable is short-circuited.

5. The spindle is reversed.

During the working process of the machine, the main shaft reverses due to the connection between the frequency converter and the main shaft, and it only needs to replace the connecting line.

When the spindle is reversed, if the MDF is cut, the cutter will break, and the cutter may break when it is installed and used. Even if it doesn't break, it will be burned red. Therefore, when this abnormal phenomenon occurs, the operator should immediately stop the machine and check the main shaft.

6. During the working process, there is a phenomenon that the cutting is dislocated and the direction is opposite.

After starting up, if there are irregular movements when clicking continuously and quickly, it is a "phase loss" fault. Check the circuit between the output terminal of the driver and the stepper motor, find out the open circuit, and reconnect the fault to solve it.

7. When the machining axis is controlled manually or automatically, the machine tool does not respond:

Check whether the data cable is connected firmly, if it is loose, connect it correctly.

Check whether the drive circuit interface is loose or disconnected, and reconnect.

Check whether the host power circuit is powered off.

I thought this kit would be a great addition to my wood shop, the 5x10 work table was large enough for my business, and it was more than I wanted to go with. The tool changer was powerful and automatic. I have no complaints about assembly or software installation, just too many things to learn for me. So far this has been an easy to use and solid industrial CNC. I have used it for some indoor signs and ornaments carving, 4x8 plywood sheets cutting and MDF kitchen cabinets making. Would be trying out more woodworking projects in the coming days.

I was always hesitant about those cheap Chinese-made CNCs. Did lots of research for the STM1325-R3 and decided to give it a try. Arrived 38 days after payment, and all in good condition. Little to no assembly is required, it's plug and play, just find a space with a power outlet to place it. I've done a few projects, including the sample files provided and some of my own creations. Here is my personal experience so far with this CNC router.

This STM1325-R3 CNC kit works great for the projects that meet the following conditions:

• Materials - MDF and plywood, as well as solid wood.
• Working Area - Maximum 4' x 8'.
• Controller - Basics of DSP and Mach3/Mach4 software.
• Files - CAD skills required.

If you are new to CNC and want to play with this kit, the DSP controller can help you easily get started. If you are a professional, the Mach3 controller will take you to experience more fun of automation in woodworking. If you want your business to go further, an automatic tool changer kit would be the best option.

Pros

• The full-sized 4' x 8' working table supports most woodworking projects.
• The vacuum table works well for holding workpieces during machining.
• The controller is easy to use for beginners, as well as for machinists.
• Excellent customer service, emails and WhatsApp could be responded quickly within 1hr.

Cons

• The shipping took a bit longer than expected.
• A little larger for home users and small shops.
• Came without an additional dust collector for cleaning up sawdust.

All in all, its features match the price and worth buying for all.

I bought the STM1325 to upgrade the SainSmart's Genmitsu 3018-PRO with larger 4' x 8' table and higher power spindle kits. It's plug and play, but there is a steep learning curve for the new software came with it (Mach3). I have a lot of experience with CAD, so I can easily make designs and cuts starting out. I've made some woodworking projects and they all seem to get better than the last one. I can't wait to make more cuts to experience the capabilities of this excellent CNC.

Well packaged with operating & assembly manual. Easy to assemble and start up. The software is easy to use and shows you the cutting bid location in real time. This kit is as good as it gets for woodworkers at a decent price point. It meets the expectations for which I purchased it. In addition, the automatic tool changer spindle kit has greatly increased the efficiency of woodworking with a better quality finish for my carpentry business. Overall, I'm satisfied with this great CNC router machine.

I run a high school woodworking shop and our precious CNC is way old and outdated. Looking to upgrade with one more modern CNC that can cut up to full sheets as well as has a 4th axis. Researched over a couple of months. Compared all brands of 4 axis rotary CNC machines with lathe attachments and decided to give STM1325-R3 a try. Everything was going smooth. Easy transaction fast delivery. Got it within 25 days. Easy to assemble. The software that came with it is free and easy to use. Tested making cabinet doors with 3/4 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. plywood sheet. All performed well with clear and smooth results. Overall, it's a great machine worth to buy.

I purchased this 5x10 CNC router table because I wanted to make cabinet doors and home decorations in my workshop. It is easy to assemble and has run many days trouble-free.

The LNC software that comes with it is great for jobs with automatic tool changer, and free. Easy to set and debug. Good control over cutting strategies and parameters, and I could use it easily with document instructions.

A dust collector should be upgraded to handle dust because it will make lots of sawdust. I e-mailed them in the PM. Got a reply within the hour. They shipped me a new industrial dust collector in 10 days for a lot less than I thought it would cost. Overall the customer service is top notch.

A decent industrial CNC for me. I'm a high-end furniture maker and need more precise power tools to support the type of work that I do. The moving table makes this machine work with higher precision. Also, the automated tool changer spindle kit is professional for cabinets making and wood doors making, as well as some home decors. The software is powerful for my business, it's a breeze to create tool path and export G-code once you are proficient in CAD design. All in all, I'm satisfied with its overall capability and performance.

I have been addicted to the CNC router for woodworking with tool changer for many years, but initially it is expensive for my cabinet shop. I am happy to find the price has come down to an acceptable level in previous months, and after researching different makers and types, I selected STM1530C for its larger 5x10 vacuum working table and automatic tool changer spindle kit. Arrived in 16 days and packed well. Easy to assemble all parts and install the software to program. LNC controller is user-friendly and professional for cabinet making. So far this is the best buy I have made.
