The Brown County Woodworkers Club will meet at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 11 at the Brown County Public Library. Bill Heidt will present a program on the hand-held Shaper Origin CNC router system.
According to Charlie Roush, “A CNC router is connected to a computer and once you program a task — lettering, different shapes, specific designs, etc. — it goes to work. I have seen two big ones make flooring designs and special shapes in wood. The hand-held part should be intriguing.”
