CNC routers for nesting, cutting, drilling and carving wood, panels and composites — typically 1325 / 4×8 tables. $2,800 – $25,100 typical factory range.
A CNC router is a computer-controlled gantry: CAM software posts a toolpath, the controller drives X/Y/Z (and extra axes when fitted), and a spinning spindle cuts, nests, drills, grooves or carves the sheet. Hold-down is usually a zoned vacuum table for panels, or T-slot clamps for solid wood and mixed parts.
Typical materials are MDF, particleboard, plywood, solid wood, acrylic and composites. Furniture, cabinet, door, sign and joinery shops are the usual buyers. Marble, granite and wet acrylic use a stone CNC router.
Tables are built to the sheet. Common beds are 6090 (small-format), 1325 (1300 × 2500 mm / 4×8 ft), 1530 (about 5×10), 2030, 2040 and 2060. European 2500 × 1250 mm and 2800 × 2070 mm panels fit the same range. Production cells use an industrial controller (Syntec, LNC or equivalent), a water- or air-cooled spindle (often 5.5–9 kW, ER/ISO collet or an ATC magazine), and servo drives; lighter shops may run stepper motors. Voltage is built to the plant (220/380 V, 50/60 Hz).
Most shops start with cabinet CNC routers for sheet nesting, then step to ATC CNC routers when tool changes decide the cycle. Mixed joinery stays on woodworking CNC routers; identical-part volume on multi-spindle; angled or curved work on 4-axis or 5-axis CNC routers.
Nest and cut cabinet panels to size on a vacuum table — drilling and grooving in one program for flat-pack and wardrobe production.
Finished kitchen cabinets and drawers from nested MDF and particle-board parts — the typical output of a cabinet CNC cell.
A Cabinet CNC Router (Nesting Machine) is an integrated processing cell engineered specifically for modern flat-pack furniture, custom kitchen cabinets, and wardrobe manufacturing. The cell only works as a pair: the machine hardware plus dedicated cabinet-splitting and nesting-optimization software. That software explodes each order into a panel cut-list, automatically nests parts to maximize material yield, and then drives drilling, grooving, and high-speed profiling on full sheets in a single continuous cycle.
Designed for heavy-duty panel processing, it features a zoned vacuum table that firmly secures materials like MDF, particleboard, plywood, and laminated boards during operation. Equipped with an Automatic Tool Changer (ATC), high-torque servo axes, and an industrial controller (such as Syntec or LNC), the machine seamlessly transitions between multiple tooling requirements without manual operator swaps. Standard bed dimensions include 1325 (1300 × 2500 mm / 4×8 ft), 1530 (1500 × 3000 mm / 5×10 ft), and 2040 (2000 × 4000 mm / 6.5×13 ft); table dimensions, spindle configurations, and electrical specifications (220V/380V/440V, 50/60 Hz) are fully customizable to match your exact production needs and plant standards.
To maximize throughput and build a fully automated production cell, the system can be upgraded with flexible front-end automatic loading (including 1-to-many multi-machine feeding systems), automatic pre-labeling (barcode generation), and automated sorting and stacking via vision or barcode recognition. Integrating rear roller conveyors seamlessly streams processed parts to downstream processes—such as edge banding and drilling—minimizing manual handling. Furthermore, the unit supports real-time production visualization and direct integration with your plant's MES (Manufacturing Execution System), enabling data-driven tracking, digital shop-floor management, and complete smart factory automation.
$10,300 – $18,500
IMCR-CB1325 is 1325 nesting CNC (1300×2500 mm / 4×8 ft) for cabinet and wardrobe sheets. Zoned vacuum table, air-cooled ATC spindle (9 kW), 220/380V export electrics.
A woodworking CNC router serves as the versatile, general-purpose routing solution in your workshop: one machine cuts, engraves, drills. Joinery shops rely on it for custom millwork, furniture components, and solid-wood details; sign and display manufacturers use it for dimensional letters, acrylic fabrication, relief carvings, and exhibition structures. Available with adaptable table structures—including zoned vacuum suction, T-slot aluminum, or hybrid formats—it easily secures both full sheet goods and irregular solid-wood workpieces. that standard nesting tables struggle to hold.
Typical materials processed include solid wood, MDF, plywood, acrylic, and lightweight composites. Ideal buyers are joinery and millwork shops, sign makers, and furniture plants that balance custom orders with small-batch production. (For full-sheet kitchen and wardrobe nesting, explore our cabinet CNC routers; for stone or wet acrylic processing, refer to our stone CNC router; for complex angled or cylindrical carving, step up to our 4-axis or 5-axis CNC routers).
Standard woodworking CNC router configurations cover a full spectrum of working areas—from compact benchtop formats like 6060 (600×600 mm / 2×2 ft) and 6090 (600×900 mm / 2×3 ft) for small crafts and prototyping, mid-sized 1212 (1200×1200 mm / 4×4 ft) units for half-sheet processing, up to full-scale industrial beds including 1325 (1300×2500 mm / 4×8 ft), 1530 (1500×3000 mm / 5×10 ft), and 2040 (2000×4000 mm / 6.5×13 ft) for oversized sheet materials and mass production. Powered by industrial water- or air-cooled spindles (typically 3.2–9.0 kW), standard setups can be equipped with budget-friendly handheld controllers (RichAuto DSP A11/A18 or Weihong NK105), while high-end industrial controllers (Syntec or LNC) are provided when upgraded to an optional ATC CNC router system for seamless multi-tool processing. Bed dimensions, table configurations (Vacuum / T-Slot / Hybrid), spindle capacities, control system choices, plant voltage (220V/380V/440V, 50/60 Hz), and rotary attachments are fully customizable to match your exact shop requirements.
$12,100 – $20,600
IMCR-WW1325 is a 1325 wood CNC machine for mixed joinery and signs — 1300×2500 table, not a high-volume cabinet nesting cell.
An ATC CNC router is a machine with a linear tool magazine (gantry-mounted or rear-fixed). The magazine swaps cutters mid-program so drilling, grooving, routing and profiling finish in one setup. Buy this series when the tool list — not a single nesting bit — sets the cycle.
Typical jobs include advertising and exhibition cutting (acrylic, PVC foam, KT, ACM), cabinet-door programs (drill, groove and profile), and mixed-batch panels that need several tools on the same sheet. Materials are the sheets those jobs use: plastics and composites, MDF, particleboard, plywood, thermofoil and laminated door skins. (Full-sheet kitchen and wardrobe nesting belongs on cabinet CNC routers — those machines include ATC so the nest can cut, drill and groove; shops that still change tools by hand stay on woodworking CNC routers; angled or cylindrical carving steps up to 4-axis or 5-axis CNC routers.)
The standard 4×8 ft format is the IMCR-ATC1325 (1300×2500 mm) featuring a zoned vacuum table, while 1530, 2030, and custom sizes share the same linear magazine architecture. These industrial machines integrate a PC-based CNC controller (Syntec or LNC), closed-loop AC servos, and a 9.0 kW air-cooled ATC spindle paired with an 8 to 16-slot linear magazine. Handheld DSP controllers are reserved for entry-level woodworking CNC routers. Bed dimensions, magazine capacity, spindle specs, servo systems, pneumatic positioning pins, tool sensors, and regional operating voltages (220V/380V/440V, 50/60 Hz) are fully customizable to the factory.
$8,900 – $21,000
The IMCR-ATC1325 is a 1325 (1300×2500 mm / 4×8 ft) ATC CNC router for nested sheet work. Advertising and exhibition shops cut acrylic, PVC foam, KT and ACM in one program — the 12-tool magazine changes bits so the sheet stays on the table.
A multi-spindle CNC router (also called a multi-head CNC router) mounts several spindles on one gantry so the same toolpath runs on multiple blanks in a single pass. Head spacing matches the part pitch; T-slot clamps or fixtures hold the blanks (this series is not a vacuum nesting cell); servo axes and an industrial controller keep the gang in time. Buy this series when volume of the same part — not a mixed tool list — sets the shift.
Typical work is repeating door components, drawer fronts, chair parts and other identical furniture blanks on engineered board (MDF, particleboard, plywood). That is a different job from full-sheet kitchen nesting on cabinet CNC routers, from multi-tool sign and door programs on ATC CNC routers, and from mixed one-off joinery on woodworking CNC routers.
The current 1325 cell is the IMCR-MS1325 (1300 × 2500 mm / 4×8 ft). Head count, spindle power, table format and plant voltage (220 V / 380 V / 440 V, 50/60 Hz) are set on the quote so the pitch matches your blank layout.
$2,800 – $5,900
IMCR-MS1325 is a 1325 multi-spindle CNC for identical parts at volume on a 1300×2500 table.
A 4-axis CNC router adds a swivel or rotary axis so the spindle reaches angled faces, side bores and cylinders. Stairs, frames and shaped joinery are the usual parts.
The fourth axis is a C-axis on the head or a rotary fixture on the table. Syntec/LNC-class control, servo drives and a 1325-class table are common export builds.
Use 5-axis CNC routers when the head must tilt on two rotary axes.
$11,800 – $25,100
IMCR-4A1325 is our 1325 4-axis CNC with a swivelling spindle for angled and side-face work on a 1300×2500 table.
A 5-axis CNC router tilts the spindle on two rotary axes plus X/Y/Z, so curved surfaces and several faces finish in one clamp. Wood, composites and moulded furniture parts are the usual work.
Swing-head kinematics, servo axes and an industrial controller are the usual specification. Table size follows the part (often 1325). Metal moulds at gantry scale use gantry CNC milling machines.
Angled faces that need only one rotary axis stay on 4-axis CNC routers.
$8,500 – $21,000
IMCR-5A1325 is our 1325 5-axis CNC with swing-head motion for curved wood and composite parts on a 1300×2500 table.
A stone CNC router uses a heavier frame, water cooling and corrosion-resistant parts so the spindle can cut and engrave marble, granite, sinks and acrylic in slurry. Countertops, stone panels and relief work are the usual jobs.
Water spray protects the tool and the material. Table size and spindle power follow slab size. Voltage and pump spec are built to the plant.
Wood sheet nesting stays on cabinet CNC routers.
$11,000 – $19,100
IMCR-ST1325 is a 1325 stone CNC (1300×2500) with water cooling for marble, granite and sink cutouts.
A CNC door lock hole mortising machine cuts lock pockets, latch bores and hinge recesses in door leaves from one program. Wooden door plants run repeating leaves through the cell instead of hand-routing each pocket.
Fences and stops locate the leaf; a dedicated spindle or multi-bit setup machines the lock case and hinge recesses. Voltage follows the plant.
This series sits in the CNC router range. Full-sheet cabinet nesting uses cabinet CNC routers.
$7,600 – $15,400
IMCR-LH1325 is our CNC door lock and hinge mortiser for door-leaf pockets — not a nesting cabinet CNC.
Product details
$2,800 – $25,100 typical factory range
A CNC router is a heavy-duty gantry cell designed for precision automated machining. When a CAM program posts a toolpath, the machine’s controller drives the X/Y/Z axes (along with extra rotational axes when fitted) while the high-speed spindle cuts, nests, drills, grooves, or carves raw stock. Supported Materials: MDF, particleboard, plywood, solid wood, acrylics, display plastics, XPS / EPS / PU insulation foam, and advanced composites. Note: Wet stone, marble, and granite machining require a specialized water-cooled Stone CNC Router.
Furniture manufacturers use Cabinet CNC Routers to nest kitchens, wardrobes, and panel furniture directly from full sheet stock. Automatic Tool Changing (ATC): When a production job requires drilling, grooving, and cutting without manual tool swaps, the operation relies on an ATC CNC Router equipped with an automated tool magazine.
Producers of HVAC duct insulation, sandwich-panel cores, and shaped XPS/EPS/PU foam boards run custom nesting operations. A standard 4×8 ft vacuum table woodworking CNC router is the typical starting setup. Spindle speeds and dust collection parameters are specially calibrated for light, fibrous foam rather than heavy cabinet panels.
Sign makers and plastics shops cut acrylic, PVC foam, KT board, and Aluminum Composite Materials (ACM). Utilizing an ATC CNC Router allows seamless switching between profiling, finishing, and v-carving/lettering tools in a single program—keeping the material securely clamped to the vacuum table throughout the process.
Custom joiners and millwork shops combine sheet panels with solid wood parts and one-off components on a multi-purpose Woodworking CNC Router. High-Volume Production: Shops running identical parts at volume utilize Multi-Spindle CNC Routers. Complex Geometry: Angled, curved, or 3D architectural work steps up to 4-Axis or 5-Axis CNC Routers. Door Hardware Processing: Precision pockets for door locks and hinges are handled by a dedicated CNC Door Lock Mortiser, rather than a standard sheet nesting cell.
Small studios, prototype shops, and educational facilities run compact versions of full industrial gantry machines. Models such as a 6090 or compact woodworking CNC router allow one-person operations to produce signs, furniture parts, and prototypes. Built as industrial export machines with genuine CNC controllers and high-power spindles, these offer production reliability far beyond consumer desktop kits.
The CNC router serves as the central hub between raw material processing and edge finishing. Full sheets are sized or nested on the CNC, then transferred directly to an edge banding machine.
The CNC operates as a standalone nesting cell. Raw stock arrives as 4×8 ft sheets or pre-cut panels, the router profiles and nests the components, and parts head straight to assembly or packaging.
Operates on a streamlined single-table setup: CAM Software → Controller → Spindle → Finished Part.

Pick a series based on your daily workload and production volume: a heavy-duty nesting cell for a high-volume plant, a general-purpose table for mixed shop work, or a compact bed for a studio/prototyping.
Match the bed size directly to the primary sheet or blank size you process most days.
European Standard Panels: Fully compatible with European standard sizes like 2500 × 1250 mm and 2800 × 2070 mm. Send us your standard sheet dimensions, and we will configure the optimal table layout.
Note on Stone CNC: Stone CNC routers use mechanical clamps and continuous water flow on slabs, rather than standard furniture vacuum systems.
Most furniture exporters start on a 1325 (4×8) vacuum table. Kitchen and wardrobe sheets go to cabinet CNC routers — the 1325 nest is the IMCR-CB1325. Advertising, exhibition plastics and multi-tool door programs go to ATC CNC routers — the 1325 magazine cell is the IMCR-ATC1325. If those two jobs share one operator and one bed, tell us the weekly mix; we will say whether one machine or two is cheaper over a year.
Send sheet or blank size, materials, the parts you run most days, target cabinets or sheets per shift, and plant voltage (220/380 V, phase, Hz). Photos of current parts help. We map that to a series and table — not a generic catalogue price. Request a quote, or browse installed machines.
