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. Our flatbed CNC machines are available in 8x4 through to 10x5 bed sizes and beyond. Choosing the right CNC routing machine starts with understanding your material and production volume to ensure you opt for the correct system.
Production volume determines whether a manual or automatic tool change system is right for you. Lighter workloads and shorter runs suit a manual configuration, while production environments benefit from automatic tool change, faster motion systems and reduced manual handling.
Businesses running high-volume panel processing benefit most from ATC configurations and vacuum bed systems.
Businesses running high-volume panel processing benefit most from ATC configurations and vacuum bed systems.
Tool change configuration has a major impact on productivity.
Manual tool change systems are well-suited to lower volumes and varied one-off work, 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 from the outset ensures your machine grows with your production requirements rather than limiting them.
Mantech CNC routers are configured for a wide range of materials including hardwood, MDF, plywood, acrylic, PVC, ACM, foam, carbon fibre composites and aluminium.
For abrasive materials such as stone, quartz and granite, our Stone-Tech range provides specialist reinforced construction and water mist cooling as standard. The right machine depends on your primary material, cutting depth, surface finish requirements and production volume — our applications team will advise on the correct spindle, tooling and bed configuration for your specific work.

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 machine 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.
What bed sizes are available on your CNC routers?
Mantech CNC routers are available in a range of standard bed sizes to suit different workshop footprints and production requirements. The most common configurations are 8×4 (2440×1220mm) and 10×5 (3050×1525mm), covering the majority of standard sheet material sizes used in the UK.
Larger format beds are available across the Apollo M, Apollo ATC and Twin-Bed ranges for production environments handling oversized panels or requiring extended cutting areas. The Twin-Bed configuration provides two independent working zones for continuous production without downtime between loads.
If you have a specific sheet size, material or workflow requirement, our applications team will confirm the correct bed size and configuration for your operation — contact us on 0121 541 1444 or request a quote online.
