A Good Year for Digital Woodworking Tools

Post date: Dec 30, 2016 6:48:27 PM

When it comes to digital woodworking, you can comfortably say that in 2016 we live in interesting times. Woodworking never sits still. There are always new options and methods being created for new ways to do things. The same is true when it comes to the tools we use. When you add digital technology, the evolution moves more quickly. In the last 18 months or so, we’ve seen several companies begin to offer CNCs that are well designed and sized right for woodworking tasks in small shops. Since digital tools are still new to many woodworkers, I thought I’d wrap up 2016 with a look at the state of digital woodworking hardware. We’ll focus on CNCs. We will get into laser cutters later on next year. So, let’s have a look at what’s available.
