John Tigg,Technical
Manager at Trend,
introduces the latest
version of their
Computer Aided
Machining Centre the CNC SMART.
ne of the major
advancements in
workshop
technology is the introduction
of Computer Aided Machinery
at a cost that is affordable to
even the smallest woodworking
and engineering (plastics, foam
and non-ferrous metal)
workshop.

3D Shaping of foam materials
Machining aluminium apertures
Cutting perspex shapes
Drilling circuit boards
Fitted with a 2 horse power
High Frequency routing head,
the CNC SMART conforms
to European Regulations for
the safety and control of CNC
machines. For operational simplicity,
the CNC SMART uses standard ISO
G Code language to control the

for the batch production of small
components. IP
The Trend CNC SMART has been
developed to handle a wide range of
applications and materials. These
include routing natural timbers and
man-made boards, plastics, high
density foam and aluminium. With a
positional accuracy of 0.01mm it is
equally at home drilling and
machining printed circuit boards for
the electronics industry.
