Upgrading to a 5-axis CNC
Adding the capabilities of a machine that can approach work from more directions can help a shop sustain growth and open new markets, but there’s much to consider.
Let There Be Light, Heat and Storage
Perhaps the most obvious aspect of the workshop environment is lighting.
Outsourcing options
There can be a lot of upside to outsourcing. It lets a cabinet shop fill orders on schedule, expand its catalog of offerings, and keep labor costs under control.
Lessening the learning curve
Taking the leap into CNC machining can be a bit unnerving because, unlike other shop machines, digital fabrication requires an entirely new skill set.
