CNCs new machinery improve output at times performing regularly twenty-four hours daily – all year round. Also, CNC’s on occasion may require being turned down for occasional servicing. In the early days, there was a pinned up need for advanced metallic operating equipment that would create challenging components within modern systems.
Anyone experienced with a CNC or laser machine for that matter will probably say that the true money maker over the long haul will be a CNC router…with emphasis over the long haul! CNC machines do run similarly to a laser machine but yet – at the same time they are totally different. Compared to a laser CNCs have more than double the steps from design to creation. They also mandate expensive software and a long learning curve. Learning how to run a CO2 laser machine is much easier. In fact producing money paying work would take a new CNC operator several months longer compared to a laser operator. And I dont think most people have the mental capacity to program a CNC. However, about anyone can operate a laser. And it is so much easier for novices to get going with especially if they dont have a machining background.

But, if you get the chance to speak to an experienced CnC or laser machinist – its hard to deny that a CNC is the one that will pay the bills – and then some. The money maker often times is a CNC router. CNC machines do run similar to a laser machine but at the same time they’re completely different. Compared to a laser the CNC will inevitably require more than double the steps from design to creation. They also, unfortunately, mandate using and understanding an expensive software which often entails a substantial learning curve. Learning how to run a CO2 laser on the other hand in most cases easier and more rewarding.
