Defying conventional wisdom, we demonstrate that wood is an excellent material for creating a professional-grade CNC router. With our easy-to-assemble kit, you'll be ready to craft cabinets, signs, and any other project you can imagine in no time. The structure of our CNC router is built from Medium Density Overlay (MDO), a wood product renowned for its resistance to extreme moisture. Its coefficient of linear expansion is lower than that of metals and plastics, ensuring consistent machine calibration even in the face of significant temperature fluctuations. This makes our CNC router not just a testament to innovation but also a reliable tool for precision work in any environment.
