*'''Oppose''' - Back when computers had tape drives, you wouldn't think of using a computer to control a machine tool - NC tools had dedicated random logic that was much simpler than a programmable computer. --[[User:Wtshymanski|Wtshymanski]] ([[User talk:Wtshymanski|talk]]) 01:55, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
*:So you're saying that numerical control is not the same as numerical control. But the article treats them as the same. If you're right (and you do appear to know more about the topic than I do) than the article needs to be rewritten to make the difference clear.

*::Wtshymanski, your claim is not borne out by our [[history of numerical control]] article. [[User:Srnec|Srnec]] ([[User talk:Srnec|talk]]) 20:05, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
* '''Support''' The original meaning of numerical control is an important one, and my first thought was to oppose this move, on that basis. However we also have an article at [[history of numerical control]]. Given that, I've no object to renaming this to follow the modern term of CNC instead.

*'''Support''' per Andy Dingley. The current title is broader, but this article is mainly about CNC. [[User:Srnec|Srnec]] ([[User talk:Srnec|talk]]) 20:05, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
