Capable of cutting not only wood but also plastics and non-ferrous metals, the CNC router can quickly turn a variety of materials into products that can be sold or gifted. Furniture and decorations are perhaps the most common creations that new hobbyists gravitate towards, but CNC routers are capable of so much more from cutting traces on a circuit boards to even engraving/cutting aluminum. The best part about the CNC router is how low the barrier of entry is. The machine itself is light and only requires a common household voltage operate. The allowance for error are high because hobbyist grade machines, like the Lead 1010, are built to survive crashes as you learn the ins and outs of CNC programming. If you’re not convinced that you need a CNC router in your home shop now then you will be after Dr. D-Flo covers his five favorite products to make in this video. #DIY #CNC #Router Table of Contents: 00:00​ - Introduction 01:31 - Cutting Board 13:50 - Table w/ Inlay 14:38 - Trivets 22:03 - Polka Dot Trivet 23:03 - Cook Book Stand 30:11 - Wallet 35:50 - LED Sign
