EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH: LC SERIES CNC ROUTER
This month, we’d like to highlight our New LC Series “Low Cost” CNC Router. Back and better than before, the original LC Series was one of our most popular CNC routers sold back in the early 2000’s. Almost 20 years later, this machine is still running in a lot of shops worldwide. Customers loved the low price of this machine paired with the industrial strength and build of the original LC Series. After experiencing price increases across the globe from COVID-19 back in 2020, we knew it was time to create a low cost machine again. This time around, we wanted the machine to be even bigger and better than its original. We offer this machine in 3 sizes currently: 4’x4′, 4’x8′, and 5’x10′; all for the same low price of $35,000.
For that affordable price, the machine comes standard with:
- All Steel Construction
- 12 HP High Frequency Automatic Tool Changer Spindle
- 4-Zone Vacuum T-slot Table
- Digital AC Servo Motors and Drives with Ballscrew Technology on all 3-Axes
- 8 Position Tool Rack
- 5 Pop-up Pins for Easy Sheet Alignment
- Pneumatically Operated Vacuum Hood
- Easy to use Handheld Controller
- Open architecture works with all industry standard CAD/CAM software
When it comes to manufacturing cabinets, doors, signs, letters, furniture, drywall, gunstocks, instruments, guitars, prototypes, you name it, the LC CNC router is your all-in-one solution, making it the most revolutionary piece of CNC equipment we’ve manufactured to date. This versatile CNC machine is equipped with the newest modern technology and features. The LC was engineered to cut everything at a price that is unbeatable by competitors. This machine effortlessly handles intricate woodwork, sign-making, cabinet making, and more. The LC Series can cut through all wood, aluminum, foam, plastics, and more with an ATC spindle to easily switch bits and keep production flowing.
SO WHY IS THE LC SERIES THE BEST EMPLOYEE YOU'LL EVER PAY?
Our LC Series is far more superior for your business than a regular employee. We often think that we are investing in a CNC, and while that may be true, thousands of customers always write to us saying “I wish I bought this sooner” or “the machine paid for itself within the first month that I had it”. When you break down the cost and value of a CNC machine vs. the cost/value of an employee, the CNC wins in all categories.
Our CNC routers can take away the conventional approach of building a product by hand: First, a skilled laborer draws the circle; second, using a jig saw, they will cut outside the line; third, using a sander, they will sand excess material until the circle is complete. Dimensionally, this will be off. Although there are other methods of producing a circle, they all involve a skilled laborer creating and manipulating the workpiece and/or jigs. This will always leave room for error. With a CNC router, a circle is drawn inside your CAD program and then this same program generates the toolpath for the machine to follow with basic instructions. Finally, it is executed perfectly on the router every single time, without any human error.
Additionally, a CNC router is far cheaper to pay per hour than a worker. When you break down the cost of a CNC vs. a salaried worker, the LC Series comes to $4.38 per hour (and once you pay the machine off, the extra work the CNC puts in now becomes money in your pocket). In New York, minimum wage is currently $16.50 per hour as of January 2025. As you can see, the CNC is $10 cheaper per hour to hire and far more superior of an employee, doing everything correctly, efficiently and perfectly the first time around.
With just these two reasons in mind, you can see why our CNC router is the better employee. CNC machines are cheaper. The CNC will not call in sick. The CNC will not take vacation days. The CNC will not charge over time or double time for work done after business hours. The CNC does not only run during the normalized 9-5. The router can run 24 hours per day with little to no instruction needed.
