    Alott of Routers also have Drill blocking and sawing option that are not on a CNC Mill.

    But then they call them point to point machining centers.

    Which I can never understand because I have a bunch of VMC's which are normally called milling machines. In absolute mode they interpret a G-code command to mean 'start from the point you are at and move to that other point defined by these coordinates'. In incremental mode they interpret a G-code command to mean 'start from the point you are at and move this distance on the Y axis and this distance on the X axis to that other point'.

    So clearly they are point to point machines.

    Consistency is a good thing....unless you're consistently an idiot.
