Operated correctly, a modern CNC Router will yield excellent results time after time—a process which an experienced operator will make look easy and effortless. However, like all machinery, everything needs to be set just right. If it isn’t there are numerous items that could go wrong and spoil the job, thereby increasing costs and delaying production. CNC machine controllers are a lot smarter than they used to be and are now able to prevent many errors occurring but they are not yet able to catch everything that might go wrong. Typical errors include problems with the CNC program, incorrect machine setup and the use of inappropriate tooling.
