cnc routing The majority of shops nowadays are automated, working with machinery rather than hand tools to produce mass-produced furniture or flat panels (manufactured boards). The focus is on computer know-how and the operation of machines, not the precision skills mentioned above, although some businesses incorporate elements of both styles in their factories. ''Every factory works differently. We produce cutting lists in the office, and this generates a work program to go to the machinist (who can be a cabinet maker), and then to component preparation areas and finally to the assembly area. We use technology such as multi-borers, CNC routing and computerised beam saws. The building part is becoming less and less important,'' says Alvin Duthie, proprietor of a flat panel, furniture manufacturing business.
