CNC (Computer numerical control) is the process of executing pre-programmed sequences of machine control commands. CNC machines can cut complex shapes, text and contours into almost any material

MDF
Plywood
Acrylic 
High-density foam
Hardwood
Aluminum
And more

Most of our router bits are designed to cut materials under 32mm, but can go thicker. Standard thicknesses for sheet materials are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 25mm

CNC Machining takes a large amount of time in the initial setup and tooling stage.
One-off / small prototyping / custom material jobs are therefore may become uneconomical for some customers.

However complex parts and large quantity’s become very afordable because the cutting process becomes complete automated.

CNC-Cut can provide detailed quotes based on your exact project specifications.

If you would like to supply your own material, you can deliver it to our workshop. 
Alternatively we can recommend a suitable material for your job and source it from our suppliers.

2D vector files – DWG, DXF, or AI. 
3D files – Fusion 360, OBJ, STI, STP or 3DM

If you are unable to provide a CAD design, simply issue detailed construction drawings and we can offer professional CAD design services.

The Problem:
When using a CNC router, it’s important to note that the cutting tools are round, and therefore, it is impossible to achieve sharp 90º corners. This can become problematic when mating parts or needing a square corner for your design.

Solution 1 – Dogbone Corners:
One solution is to implement ‘dogbone’ corners.” This term refers to extending the corner outside the cut area, resembling the shape of a chew toy for dogs. By doing so, you can maintain a clear corner while accommodating the tool’s limitations allowing the object to fit into the slot.
CNC Cut can implement this feature into your design.

Solution 2 – Manual Squaring:
Another option is to manually square the corners using a hand chisel. This solution allows you to achieve a square corner without the need to implement dogbone corners. It may be the best approach in certain cases where a clear square corner is crucial for your design, but if you have multiple corners this can be costly, time consuming and we cannot guarantee the part will fit properly.
CNC Cut can manually square corners, or this can be done by yourself.
