Clients have been coming to us through the course of 2022 amid the ongoing cost of living crisis asking which portable CNC router gives the best ROI.
Our unique portable CNC router SmartBench has delivered sales in over 17 countries in just 48 months since launching, and we've seen consistent sales growth despite rising costs in energy, utilities, fuel and general living.
Customer comments on SmartBench have included some of the following:
"SmartBench has opened up so many new streams of projects for me. There is no way I would have considered trying to make signs, wall art and V-carvings by hand. The 8x4 capacity makes it by far the most complete package on the market."
"Without SmartBench, the hours spent would outweigh the cost involved and my profit would not be as good if I had to do everything by hand. It is definitely a godsend and the space it takes up in my workshop is next to nothing. If I had to describe it in three words it would be best investment ever."
"SmartBench has paid for itself in under a year, and it's helped shape our business model and provided a new income stream."
"I was worried it would be a toy but I've had mine two months and its paid for itself back and some already. I'm just waiting until I can fork out for a second one. I don't know another CNC machine that pays back that quickly."
We also offer customers free access to the CNC Academy, our online platform full of How-To videos, tutorials, and detailed CNC articles.
Having launched Yeti Tool Limited in April 2018, the company has grown to 25 employees with a global distribution network that already includes the USA, Australia, France, Italy, Germany, New Zealand, Austria and Canada.
Andy McLaren, co-founder and co-Director at Yeti Tool, said:
"Having set up the company from a garage in Clevedon in 2018, we wanted to create a large-format portable router that didn't cost tens of thousands of pounds to buy, and could be packed away to save space when not in use, making it easily justifiable for SMEs to invest in new tech, opening up the possibility of new, more profitable projects."
The result was SmartBench, the world's only portable large-format CNC routing machine, that are used to precision cut wood and other materials.
Yeti Tool has forged successful distribution partnerships globally in less than five years, and according to Andy (second on the left), the benefits are clear for everyone:
"Our distributors are in local areas to promote and sell SmartBench in the country's language, giving customers rapid support while also providing the distributor with a really good business opportunity and no competition."
Having grown year-on-year, Yeti Tool moved to their current Portishead site in late 2020 with 8,500 square feet of industrial space to build SmartBench.
"Despite the impact of Covid-19, we've opened up new markets into Sweden, Poland, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, Norway, the Netherlands and Ireland," said Andy.
"By the end of 2022, we're looking at trading SmartBench in 30 countries, effectively doubling our territories globally, and opening up the world of CNC to more people than ever before." he concluded.
