How a CNC Router Works | For Woodworkers

At first a CNC router can seem like some crazy complicated robot, but there's far less actually going on than you probably think. In this video I demystify how the machine uses instructions from a computer file to change a physical object. I also talk about a lot of the most common differences between machine types so if you see a machine different than this one, you can still understand what's happening.
