CNC wood milling - the supreme discipline in wood processing.
The CNC milling of wood characterises the creative momentum in wood processing. No wonder, as CNC wood routers can be used to realise a wide range of design options. Regardless of whether you are using our CNC technology for hardwood, spear wood or MDF. The commercial sector in particular benefits from this wide range of applications and from our high-performance CNC routers "made in Germany". We cater for every requirement, no matter how individual. So that you can realise your ideas and results with precision.

Milling heads for wood and CNC.
Different milling cutters are used depending on the material being machined and the type of component being produced. Spiral milling cutters with two or more cutting edges are just as much a part of the selection as spiral-toothed milling cutters. In large-scale production, polycrystalline milling cutters with above-average tool life are the most economical, despite the high cost price. Never use blunt cutters!
Efficient. Safe. Clean.
Cutting speed
Wood milling is always carried out with well-dried wood and a high cutting speed at an appropriately adjusted feed rate. This prevents quality-reducing burn marks and time-consuming reworking. CNC wood milling machines achieve the best results when milling wood, as they offer a wide range of setting options.
Occupational safety
Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and a face mask when milling wood if there is no extraction system. This is because wood milling is associated with a high exposure to very fine dust. Dust that is not extracted and spreads throughout the room poses a fire hazard. Therefore, avoid open flames in rooms where milling machines are used.
Cleaning and post-processing
Ideally, compressed air is used to clean the workpieces after wood milling. This removes all chips and even the finest dust that has accumulated. When using powerful CNC wood routers and high-quality router heads, reworking is rarely or never necessary.

Answers to the most frequently asked questions about milling wood with the CNC machine.
Depending on the performance and factory options of the CNC router, it is also suitable for routing work on numerous other materials. In addition to milling wood, you can also carry out simple tasks such as drilling holes.
Hand-held CNC machines in the form of a specially equipped router are particularly suitable for smaller commercial enterprises, but also for the dedicated DIY enthusiast.
With hardwood such as oak, two millimetres may not be a problem, whereas wall thicknesses of less than eight millimetres can be critical with softwoods.
With the appropriate accessories and depending on the model, a CNC machine, which is normally used for milling wood, can also be used for turning work.
