Finish and Assembly

Finish and assembly are obviously going to vary dramatically depending on the type of job you are doing and the material you are cutting. Some projects will be ready to use when they come off the machine without further finishing work being required, some may need sanding or additional hand-carving to get the final shape. Ultimately what your making may need priming and painting or multiple coats of stain or glaze to get the required coloring. The finished part may also require assembly, fastenings or glue if it involves multiple pieces. Ideally its good to spend some time thinking about this before you start a project as you may be able to use the software, tooling and CNC to optimize the amount of finishing required.
