How to wood carve like a master carpenter

Handsomely carved newel posts is now within easy reach for the prospective home buyer; the days where you had to depend on the craftsman's skill and time is now a thing of the past; you feel sad for a skill that is vanishing but that that is progress and mankind’s loss. The woodworking CNC router is here to do all the work of a skilled carpenter and much more.

What does CNC mean?

CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control; and this term means exactly as stated; Computer - every point on a design is translated to a one or zero which means a mathematical representation of the point in space. Numerical - every facet of the design in three dimensions (popularly known as 3d) is plotted' Control- means exactly what it says; the machine obeys the design faithfully.

Principles of 3d wood carving

Wood carving in 2d was the start that allowed outlining a flat silhouette; the technology evolved into the 2.5d which meant creating recessed outlines and the cutting tool moved horizontally and sideways to replicate the x and y axis of a graph. From this point onwards technology took a quantum leap as the software allowed the tool cutter to assign depth thus creating the z-axis dimension for the 3d effect. By treating the design layer by layer, sculpting the required design in 3d is a snap. By changing the tool cutter profile interesting shapes like a chisel effect (to look as if a real craftsman has carved the design) can be had. The design capability of a CNC Router Woodworking machine is only constrained by the imagination. Curves, straight lines, angles, curlicues, whorls - all these elements can be designed to give a baroque look or creating spaces designed to heighten shadows  can enhance a wooden screen that will be the envy of any harem of a bygone era - conceal but yet be seen.

Woodcarving like a master carpenter

The woodworking CNC router can work at the same time on the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis cutting and milling simultaneously. The design literally stands out - to become outstanding (a rare case of pun intended to be literal). The process is tweaked on a 3d modelling software that differentiates the design process of yore when it was sketched by hand in ink on paper. This sketching and visualizing in 3D is a very skilled art that few traditional designers can do - a legendary name in this field is the Italian motorcycle designer Massimo Tamburini who designs extraordinary motorcycles (The classic MV Augusta F1) by sketching and sculpting (using clay) first and then computer modelling the finished design. This is the hallmark of genius - but using a CNC router woodworking machine can make you a near genius.

These woodworking router machines have taken the guesswork in design, execution accuracy and the vagueness of time out of the equation that allows you a freedom unmatched and unimaginable just a few years ago. Does it mean that you are ready to design your own F1?

The Design Made by CNC Wood Router

We see more and more organic and natural inspiration in designer furniture pieces. The surrounding environment is re-imagined in many new furniture designs, one of which is the Ocean’s Edge Table. According to its designer, America-based Tyson Atwell, the new dining table ” is part of an ongoing body of work utilizing a CNC wood router to digitally sculpt oceanic waveforms moving across planar wood surfaces”. With experiments utilizing new technologies and designers composing new ideas, the design game is about to change very soon.
Imagine how it would be to dine at a table that rises out of and dips back in to shape – an undulating tabletop reminiscent of the curves naturally exhibited by water. The tabletop speaks the language of modern design molded after a sequence of tide curves sourced from the entrance of the San Francisco Bay. This beautiful representation of a still moment in time will accompany you during many dinners with family and friends, creating a fascinating atmosphere.

What Will Affect Your CNC Wood Rotuer Processing?

What Will Affect Your CNC Wood Rotuer Processing?

What will affect your cnc wood router processing?

The environment elements which might affect cnc wood router processing are:

1. Power supply. 
    The affection from power supply to processing is most direct. Every electrical spare parts is with power, frequency range. The overlading of any spare parts will cause the unstability of whole system. Usually it will cause offseting. 
2. Vibration
    Vibration will cause often cutter broken, unsmooth surface of workpiece. Mainly reasons are touching cnc machine in the process, levelness of machine is not ok, or punching machine is around. 
3. Environment Temprature
    Environment temprature and humidity will affect the performance of control system, drivng motor. When the environment temprature over 40 centi degree, may cause wrong control, torch from motor may can not up to the right value.
4. Dust
    Dust may affect radiating and sensativity of electronic components. 
5. Thunder

So please take good care of cnc wood router in the processing. 

CNC Router Bits Instruction

CNC Router Bits Instruction

CNC Router Bits Instruction

We devide cnc router bits as procsssing material.
1. Acrylic cutting. Suggest one flute spiral bits. The advantage is there is no smoke, odourless, high speed, no powerder sticky, its special manufacturing skill could ensure no broken acrylic caused while procesing, bit trace is rather slim, even no trace, the cutting surface is with fine brightness and smoothness. If you prefer the sandblasting on processing surface, suggest double or tri-flute spiral bits.
2. MDF cutting. Suggest double large flute spiral bits. The bits are with double high volumn chip groove, good at of powder removing and bits balance. No smoke and no black caused while processing MDF.
3. Aluminium plate processing on cnc router. Suggest one flute spiral bits special for aluminium. No sticking phenomenon, high speed and excellent working performance.
4. Fine Relief sculpture. Suggest radiused bottom engraving bits.
5. Large size deep relief sculpture processing for soft wood, MDF, raw wood, PVC, acrylic. Suggest one flute spiral ball bits.
6. Up down cut burr-free cutting, suggest one flute or two flute up down cut engraving bits.
7. High density board, suggest com teeth end mill.
8. Multi-layer, palywood processing. Suggest double straight flute bits.
9. Acrylic surface etching, suggest diamond flat bottom engraving bits.
10. Roughing machining particle board, suggest cup cut with chip-breaker spiral bits on cnc router.

The above is only a brief introduction for cnc router bits, any question about bits choosing, kindly send us email to sales@omni-cnc.com.

Misalignment Analysis For CNC Wood Router

Misalignment Analysis For CNC Wood Router

Misalignment Analysis For CNC Wood Router

It may occurs misalignment when cnc wood router works, there are several reasons may cause this problem,

1. Driving motor. Electronic devices and componets in the driving motor could cause misalignment appearance. If this appearance is not ofen, try to reduce the cnc router moving speed to see if still with disalignment. If always with disalignment, then have to fix or replace driving motor.
2. Voltage. CNC router requires higher power, if voltage is lower than noramally need, the lower power will cause disalignment, usually occursed on y axis. This may because of outsider voltage lower or there is with high power device on the same wire, such as electric welding. The solution is mounting on 5000w stabilized power supply with the tolerance less than 5%.
3. Interface board, mainboard, pinboard. If these boards are with problem, then cnc wood router one axis or three axis does not move, this will cause cnc router with disalignment.
4. Motor. If it is because of stepper motor or servo motor, then the machine will not move on certain direction, will not move even if you turn the ballscrew.
5. Machine body. Some spare parts loosen, impurity on surface also could cause disalignment. Take example, if shaft joint is loosen or broken, can cause disalignment, if no clean up or oil on guide and orbit, also could cause disalignment.
6. If the screening wire is broken, also could cause the problem. OMNI offer highrise screening wire.

The above is the main reasons cause cnc wood  router alignment. Any problem on cnc wood router, welcome send email to support@omni-cnc.com. And OMNI offer whole life guarantee on maintenance for cnc router, laser engraving machine, laser cutting machine, cnc plasma cutter.
