Greetings everybody, and please allow me to ask a question about CNC machines, and while I do not currently own one, I am eager to know much about the CNC art.
I searched much over the internet and YouTube and never found any project that involved feeding a wood piece with edges worked on by a regular table router first, and I do not understand why, because I think this will ease the time and cost of the expensive CNC machine, while using the full capacity of the cheaper router (For example, I would use the router that is available in the shop, then go to a CNC service center to do the rest of the carving).
Is this possible? Do CNC machine 'see' the piece or just rely on the G code to go left and right? In case the CNC is blind, then one should draw the 3D piece of wood as coming out of the router, right? But still, how to tell the CAM software that this 'edge void' is not a relief to be made, but the real wood?
This question is driving me like crazy.
