Cutting joinery out of full timbers involves reducing the size and shape of the timbers to create the desired joints and connections. A variety of tools can be used for this process, including power saws and drills as well as hand tools like chisels, mallets and planes. The choice of tools will depend on the size and type of timber as well as the level of detail and precision required.
CNC, or computer numerical control, cutting is a process that uses a computer to control the movement of machine tools, such as routers, cutting heads and saws, to produce precise joinery. In timber frame joinery, CNC cutting is used to create precise, repeatable cuts in timber pieces for joints and connections in the frame. It has several advantages including precise cuts, efficiency and the ability to manufacture complex shapes. However, it can be more expensive than hand-cutting and may not offer the same level of customization.
