Unlike conventional woodworking equipment that is controlled manually, CNC equipment is computer-controlled—a feature that supplies the equipment with superior cutting accuracy and repeatability. As one would imagine, these benefits do not come cheap. Depending on its construction grade and size, a CNC router could require a seven-figure investment. A medium size, industrial model typically requires a five-figure investment, which is still expensive, but not beyond the reach of most woodworkers who are looking for used wood working machines for sale.
Buying Used
If you need industrial CNC equipment, you can profit from buying it used. Despite a discount of thirty percent or more off the original price, pre-owned industrial equipment can perform like new, especially when it has been reconditioned. Because industrial equipment is designed to last for decades, there is no reason to buy it new when you can buy it used for a significant discount, and still receive the same performance quality.
Buying industrial CNC equipment used can easily yield a five-figure cost saving. If you are looking for CNC wood working machines for sale, this should be good news for your equipment budget.
Reduced Waste
The superior cutting accuracy of computer-controlled equipment translates into fewer waste pieces. Factories and woodshops that use conventional machines produce a prodigious amount of waste pieces each day. Annually, this waste can add up to thousands of dollars of material that is not converted into sellable products. Using a CNC router instead of a conventional router can help you eliminate waste work that compromises your bottom line.
Improved Production
Computer-controlled equipment can improve the production capacity of a woodworking operation by increasing the production rate of existing pieces, eliminating waste work, and making it possible to produce new pieces. Depending on the motor, table size, and number of axes it features, CNC equipment can produce various pieces at different rates, regardless of the size or intricacy of the pieces.
Less Manpower
Because a computer controls CNC equipment, a single operator can oversee several production stations at once, reprogramming them for the next production run as necessary. If your company needs to cut costs, replacing conventional equipment with computer-controlled equipment can help you subsequently reduce payroll by reducing the work force.
Considering the labor required to operate it, and the waste work that results from its operation, conventional equipment can be more expensive to own and operate than computer-controlled equipment, even though the latter costs more to buy.
