The Complete Guide to CNC Woodworking by Ralph Bagnall is an authoritative resource for woodworkers looking to integrate CNC routing into a traditional shop. Bagnall covers machine selection, software workflows, toolpath strategies, and workholding — all written from a woodworker's perspective rather than an engineering one. Whether you are purchasing your first CNC router or looking to get more from a machine you already own, this guide provides a structured path from setup through production.

Why Pair Good Tools with Good Reference Material?

Even the sharpest router bits and most precise jigs perform only as well as the operator's technique allows. Books like those from Fox Chapel Publishing help woodworkers understand the why behind their tool choices, leading to fewer mistakes, better surface quality, and more confident project planning. Browse the Infinity Tools Learning Center for free articles, videos, and setup guides that complement our book selection.
