China CNC Router Basics-1

How it works

China CNC wood router works almost the same as any other CNC machine. A CNC machine or a Computer Numerically Controlled system which uses computer software and CNC controller electronics to drive a mechanical system. Using this setup, it is possible to achieve far better accuracy and precision than a human operator.

A traditional China CNC router can move and cut in three directions which are usually referred to at the X, Y, and Z directions. The X-axis is usually the longest of the three running front to back.
The Y-axis runs from left to right while the Z-axis runs up and down. Below you can see each axis labeled respectively.
