I have been going back and forth. Some things still seem easier on the router table - putting a groove in a board as example - just set the router table fence and run it through.
But then a stopped groove I am back to the CNC.
Of course, I 'could' run the groove on the CNC without programming, just use the manual controls. Need a good locating/hold down setup to make that happen easily.
A bigger grooving project would be to the shaper.
I notice a lot of my usual way of work is a 'relative' reference (story stick type thinking - xxx off an edge), and not 'absolute'. That changes for the CNC.
Not a production shop and most of my work is one off. Wondering what all of your experiences have been. (not getting rid of my router table any time soon, but can imagine a scenario where if I 'had' to I would still get by fine with the CNC).
How have you incorporated the CNC into your approach? (again not production)
