Most of the work done on CNC routers is 2-axis anyway. Or 2-axis with just a couple z-heights, which can be accommodated by changing the router depth by hand.

Most of the work done on CNC routers is 2-axis anyway. Or 2-axis with just a couple z-heights, which can be accommodated by changing the router depth by hand. Ultimately it's made to cut up plywood, not sculpt things. Like a sized-up version of small scale laser cutters.
Once you accept the constraints of a 2-axis CNC router, you can design in a way that maximizes it and build incredible things. See https://www.opendesk.cc/ https://www.opendesk.cc/ for examples of a lot of furniture that can be built this way.

- aidenn0 10y agoOkay, that makes sense; this is for replacing a woodworker with a jigsaw, not for fine work. Seems like a really good solution in this space (though I'm biased, since I suck with a jigsaw).
