A CNC router is short for computer numerical control. This means that the system is controlled by a set of numbers that actually form co-ordinates based on how your CNC system is set up. For instance, our 3 Axis CNC routers would have co-ordinates based around X, Y and Z. 

In simple terms back and forth, lateral and up and down. 

A CNC is an extremely accurate tool in your production arsenal that can help you ramp up production and save on time, waste and ultimately grow your profit margins.
