Ahhh, how about "no". Since I feel prompted I will let it be said as it should. CNC is nothing that I find to be of artistic value. IMHO any snotty nosed kid can "create" work which resembles work created by true artisians. Sorry pal, CNC is not for me and it is a lazy man's way of trying to say they are an aritist or a woodworker.

Ban me, whip me, I can't stomach BS techonlogical wannbie's.

Khalid,
With all due respect I quote a previous statement you made:

"All mechanical parts will cut through the same router... Mean my first machine making the second one..."

I personally feel that is an absolutely accurate statement, your first machine making your second one. In my opinion, in the work that you do, you may make the computer program, but the machine makes the woodwork. Until you actually use your hands on the piece of wood, to cut, carve etc. I personally cannot consider that it is a piece of handmade art work. Machine made things can be beautiful but they are machine made, not hand made, and if a machine makes it, in my opinion, a person cannot take credit for handmade woodworking art, except for the computer design (If they designed it themselves).

I may be stirring the pot a bit...but let me add another wrinkle.

What if the CNC was used to rough out a carving, or even a scroll saw-style piece...and then a craftsman or craftswoman came back in and finished it with a scroll saw or hand carving tools.

Cleaning out rounded corners (scroll saw) or undercutting and smoothing (carving).

Is that different from a carver cutting a blank out on a bandsaw, or using a router to remove background material? Or even a scroll saw to cut out a lovespoon blank...
