What is a CNC router?
A CNC router is a numerically controlled machine that processes materials using a rotating tool (spindle), performing cutting, engraving, milling, and 3D carving with high precision and repeatability. It is widely used in woodworking, furniture making, advertising, construction, and small-scale manufacturing, as it combines speed, precision, and flexibility through CAD/CAM software.
Our models — CNC Router (B2B prices excluding VAT)
Materials & cutting thicknesses
- Wood: up to 60 mm solid wood, 50 mm MDF, 25 mm plywood.
- Aluminum: up to 30 mm with slow feed and mist cooling.
- Plexiglass / Acrylic: up to 20 mm.
- Plastic (POM, PVC, PE): up to 50 mm.
Desktop or Industrial — Which One to Choose
The desktop models (4030, 6040, 6090) are ideal for prototyping, design studios, and small-scale production. The hybrid/industrial models (1200×1200 to 2100×4000) are designed for small-scale and industrial production of furniture, panels, and large structures, featuring a heavy-duty build and large work surfaces.
Spindle, drive & vacuum table
- Spindle: air-cooled or water-cooled, depending on the material and application.
- Drive system: servo motors and rack-and-pinion for precision and speed over large areas.
- Vacuum table: on hybrid/industrial models, for secure sheet holding without clamps.
- Software: CAD/CAM-compatible for design and manufacturing.
Nesting & Productivity
With the nesting feature, multiple parts are automatically arranged on a single sheet to maximize material utilization and minimize waste—ideal for mass production of furniture, cabinets, and panels at a low cost per unit.
Applications
Furniture making & woodworking, MDF & panel cutting, signage & 3D lettering, decorative items & 3D carving, aluminum & plexiglass machining, prototyping, and industrial production. We serve clients ranging from small design studios to large furniture manufacturing facilities.
CNC Router or Laser?
The CNC router uses a cutting tool (cutter) and is ideal for volume, depth, and 3D carving in wood and aluminum. For laser cutting and engraving of non-metallic materials, see our CO₂ laser cutting and engraving machines; for metal cutting, see our fiber laser metal cutting machines.
Operating costs & maintenance
Operating costs include electricity consumption, tools (cutters), and basic maintenance of the spindle and guides. With proper maintenance and high-quality tools, the CNC router offers long-term, reliable production at a low cost per unit.
CAD/CAM Software & Workflow
The CNC router works with CAD/CAM software where you design or import the file, define toolpaths, depth, and speeds, and send the job to the machine. With the right settings and tools, production is fast, consistent, and repeatable—from a single piece to a mass production run with nesting. Choosing the right cutter for each material plays a crucial role in quality and speed.
Precision & Quality of Machining
Thanks to servo motors, rack-and-pinion drives, and heavy-duty construction, industrial models maintain high precision even when working on large surfaces and during long periods of continuous operation. The result is clean edges, consistent depth, and excellent repeatability on every piece.
Tools & Supplies
The quality of the cut depends on using the right cutters for each material (wood, aluminum, acrylic). We offer tools and consumables and advise you on the right combination of tool, speed, and depth to ensure a clean finish and long tool life.
Space & Installation
The space required depends on the size: from a table for desktop models to a dedicated area for the 2100×4000 models. A stable floor, a dust extraction system, and a proper power supply are required. We handle installation and operator training to ensure immediate production start-up.
Dust Extraction, Safety & Maintenance
Machining wood and MDF produces dust, so CNC routers are equipped with a dust extraction system (dust collector) that keeps the workspace clean and protects the electronics, the spindle, and the guides. A clean working environment ensures consistent quality and a longer machine lifespan. With basic preventive maintenance—guide lubrication, spindle inspection, and cleaning—the CNC router maintains high performance and precision for years of reliable industrial production.
