Q&A
(1) What is a CNC Router?: A CNC Router is a router controlled by a computer that lets us cut things like metal and wood.
(2) What type of router do we have in the innovation center?: We have an HS CNC ROUTER HS48X48 router in the innovation center.
(3) What is one thing you learned about the router?: I learned that just like the mill, the router is great for a wide variety of projects on different materials. It can be used on wood, metal, aluminum, and etc.
(4) If you could make anything in the router what would you make?: I would make a tic tac toe board very similar to this one shown below because I think it would be a fun thing to bring to my cabin to play late at night with my friends.

Summary
Just like the CNC Mill I never got to do any hands on activities with the CNC Router, but I think I still learned a lot about it. Just like the mill, the setup is in Fusion 360 and you do this to figure out where to send the guidelines. I also learned that it is controlled by a computer and can make projects out of many different materials. Overall I think the CNC Router is a very unique piece of equipment that would be cool for lots of projects.
