It is no surprize to me that the CNC has caught up to log building. The technology will put people out of work again. For doing kits and large projects which require mutiple indentical pieces the CNC will save time, cash, and labour. All of these things are good for the customer and company. But breakdowns,
maintainence and computer glitches are the negatives involved for the company and clients too. The company needs good programmers, operators and a high costing maintainence program with a technical firm. The set-up, installion and warehousing costs requires deep pockets. Plus time to perfect a new system install and training of the staff too. More cash and some clients are lost. So as always the marketing hype does not show reality. I love both new gadgets and the old ways too.
