--- title: How Can a Thermwood Smart Router Save You Money? description: Just like a smart phone does more than simply make phone calls, a “smart router” does much more than just route parts. The “more” in a smart router saves material and labor and makes it very easy to use. A Thermwood smart router may cost a bit more, but is substantially more profitable, making it a much better overall investment. image: https://blog.thermwood.com/hubfs/smart_router_image_main4.png --- [![Thermwood Corporation Blog](https://blog.thermwood.com/hs-fs/file-1534153785-png/images/Logo.png "Thermwood Corporation Blog")](http://www.thermwood.com/) ## [How Can a Thermwood Smart Router Save You Money?](https://blog.thermwood.com/how-can-a-thermwood-smart-router-save-you-money-01) Posted by [Duane Marrett](https://blog.thermwood.com/author/duane-marrett) on Thu, Jun 23, 2016 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Tags: [Thermwood](https://blog.thermwood.com/topic/thermwood), [smart-router](https://blog.thermwood.com/topic/smart-router), [save money on cnc router](https://blog.thermwood.com/topic/save-money-on-cnc-router) ![Thermwood Smart Routers Save You Money!](https://blog.thermwood.com/hs-fs/hubfs/smart_router_image_main4.png?width=275&name=smart_router_image_main4.png "Thermwood Smart Routers Save You Money!")Most people looking at a router for the first time do not realize that the vast majority of their cost will not be in running the router, but actually in *EVERYTHING ELSE* required to run the router (preparation, programming, hold down, operating procedures and error handling are the main cost areas). Ordinary routers do not focus on these areas. They simply rely on the user to take care of them and usually it is not that easy.  [Thermwood smart routers](https://info.thermwood.com/thermwood-smart-routers-your-best-investment) address these areas in a big way. They focus on the areas where you ***spend** *the most money because that’s where you can ***make** *the most money. Just like a smart phone does more than simply make phone calls, a Thermwood smart router does much more than just route parts. The “more” in a smart router saves material and labor and makes it very easy to use. A smart router may cost a bit more, but is substantially more profitable, making it a much better overall investment.  --- ## Thermwood Smart Router Advantages: ### Smart Routers Save Material - [![Thermwood Smart Routers -
