Overview
A board router is a milling machine used for the shaping of solid materials. Its basic form is that of a rotating cutter which rotates about the spindle axis, and a table to which the workpiece is affixed. The cutter and workpiece move relative to each other, generating a toolpath along which material is removed. The movement is precisely controlled. Board routers may be manually operated, mechanically automated, or digitally automated via computer numerical control (CNC)
