The Unbreakable Rules!
In the world of manufacturing, computer numerical control (CNC) machines are known for their efficiency and precision. However, ensuring the safety of operators around these powerful machines demands vigilance and a sound knowledge of what you should and should not do!!
- Proper Training Is Paramount
Operating CNC machines without adequate training is akin to playing with fire. Ensure that only trained personnel handle these sophisticated tools to mitigate the risk of accidents stemming from inexperience.
- Continuous Supervision
Never leave a CNC machine unattended while in operation. Though rare, malfunctions can occur, potentially leading to expensive mistakes. Maintain a vigilant presence with at least one person observing the machine at all times.

- Pre-Operation Checklist Essentials - The Do's
- Makes sure you have the correct tooling for the correct materials.
- Ensure tools are sharp and properly set in the tool holder / Collet.
- Confirm correct tool data alignment for the programmed task.
- Sense tools before each use and inspect seating surfaces for cleanliness.
- Adjust spindle feeds, speeds & direction as per recommended requirements.
- Strictly adhere to manufacturer's tool specifications
- Pre-Operation Checklist - The DONT'S
- Never use dull, blackened, cracked, or chipped tools, including those with damaged tips. So don’t be a fool – check your tool!!
- Special Considerations for CNC Routers
For CNC router operators, extra precautions are necessary:
- Prior to operation, ensure the path of the bit is clear of any obstructions.
- If abnormalities are detected during operation, promptly pause or use the emergency shutdown button to rectify the issue.
- Focus
A clear and focused mind is a must when operating CNC machinery. If you're unwell or you're having difficulty concentrating then best to take a break or go home for the day than to cause an injury to yourself or a breakage to the machine.
