About: Autodesk Technology Center San Francisco is a hub for research, development, and demonstration of new manufacturing technologies and workflows relating to configurable microfactories.
Conventional cutting is when the workpiece moves against the direction of the cutting bit.
- All manual router work must be done with conventional cuts, at all times.
Climb cutting is when the workpiece moves in the same direction as the bit.
- This is dangerous, and not allowed on the router table.
- Climb cutting is only allowed on CNC routers.
