If you’re getting into CNC woodworking, there are some lessons you only learn the hard way… unless somebody tells you first.

In this livestream, we’re talking about the biggest CNC mistakes, setup issues, workflow lessons, dust collection problems, tooling choices, and machine tips we wish somebody had explained earlier.

We also officially released our brand-new IDC Woodcraft surfacing bit during the stream and answered questions from the CNC community live.

Whether you’re brand new to CNC or already running projects every week, this conversation is packed with practical advice that can save you time, money, frustration, and broken bits.

In this video:

Beginner CNC lessons
Dust collection grounding tips
Workflow improvements
Tooling advice
Machine setup insights
CNC community Q&A
New surfacing bit release
Lessons learned from years of CNC work
