What's the difference between a CNC Cutter and a CNC Router? Let's dive into it in this blog.
A CNC Cutter is a router bit that goes into the spindle to help it cut.
An example of a CNC Router is SmartBench, the world's only portable large-format CNC Router. It has been successfully sold across 25 countries since launching in 2018.
We have customers who are confused about the differences between a CNC Cutter and a CNC Router. It is important to understand a CNC Router before making a purchase.
A CNC Cutter is commonly used to cut materials. Modern CNC Routers are compatible with a wide range of materials, including wood, plastics and metal.
CNC is commonly used in manufacturing for machining of metal and plastic parts.
Businesses using a CNC Router benefit from being able to use it to make curved, diagonal and straight-line cuts easily, rapidly and accurately.
Programming a CNC Router is intuitive and simple to master because the machine additionally makes the cuts so human error is reduced.
Using a CNC Router enables better and more consistent results than hand tools, saving time and money.
A CNC Cutter cuts through direct contact, but because it is automated it follows a set programmed path through computer numerical control (CNC).
CNC Routers such as SmartBench are equipped with advanced computer systems that enable them to process complex data and instructions with high precision results.
CNC Routers can execute intricate machining operations with accuracy, consistency and speed.
One of the main benefits of CNC machining is the precision and repeated results of a consistently-high standard.
This is why CNC Routers are a popular choice above hand-held CNC Cutters.
