How to Choose the Ideal Industrial CNC Router

Selecting the perfect CNC Router involves considering your material requirements, production needs, and the size of your workspace.

Choosing the right CNC router starts with understanding your production volume and workflow.

Entry-level systems are well suited to light routing and short runs, while production environments benefit from automatic tool change, faster motion systems and reduced manual handling. If your work involves repeat jobs or nested-based manufacturing, prioritising automation will improve consistency and throughput.

Tool change configuration has a major impact on productivity.

Manual tool change systems are suitable for simpler jobs and lower volumes, while automatic tool change (ATC) routers reduce downtime and support complex, multi-tool workflows. Businesses running frequent toolpaths or batch production typically benefit most from ATC configurations.

CNC routers are available in 3-axis, 4-axis and 5-axis configurations depending on machining requirements.

Standard 3-axis routers cover most flat-bed cutting tasks, while 4-axis and 5-axis systems enable angled machining, complex joinery and advanced 3D shaping. Choosing the correct axis configuration ensures flexibility without unnecessary complexity.

Most industrial CNC routers are suitable for machining wood, MDF, plastics and aluminium.

Specialist configurations are available for advanced applications such as 3D machining, high-volume production or abrasive materials like stone and composites. Selecting the right machine depends more on workflow and accuracy requirements than material type alone.

What is a CNC Router used for?

A CNC router is used to cut, engrave, and shape materials like wood, plastic, aluminium, foam, and composites. It’s commonly used in industries such as sign-making, cabinetry, set design, marine, aerospace, and furniture production.

What's the difference between 3-axis and 4-axis CNC routers?

A 3-axis CNC router moves along the X, Y, and Z axes, ideal for flat work. A 4-axis router adds spindle rotation (usually 0–180 degrees), allowing angled cuts, side drilling, and more complex geometry. It’s perfect for parts like chair legs, mouldings, or curved panels.

Who should use a CNC router with automatic tool change (ATC)?

ATC routers are ideal for businesses running multiple tooling operations per job—like drilling, profiling, and pocketing—without stopping production. They save time, reduce manual errors, and increase throughput in busy workshops.

Is the Falcon ATC router suitable for production work?

Yes, the Falcon ATC is designed for compact workshops that still demand high output. It includes a 9.0 kW spindle and Delta servos, making it a reliable and space-efficient option for manufacturers who need fast tool changes and consistent performance.

What can I do with a 4-axis CNC router like the Apollo?

The Apollo 4 Axis can machine parts at multiple angles using its rotating spindle. It’s excellent for stair components, complex mouldings, and projects that need more than just top-down routing. It also handles standard 3-axis tasks with ease.

Do your CNC routers come with training and support?

Yes, all our routers come with installation, onsite training, and lifetime technical support. We also offer remote guidance, servicing, and software setup to ensure you’re fully equipped from day one.

Can your CNC routers run on single-phase power?

Many of our entry-level and mid-range models can be configured for single-phase power. This is ideal for smaller workshops without access to 3-phase supply. Just ask during the quoting stage.

Do you offer finance options for CNC routers?

Yes, we offer flexible financing, including lease and purchase options. Our team can help you structure a plan that fits your business and cash flow, often with tax benefits. Finance is offered through a third-party partner; customers are more than welcome to use their own service.
