The Best CNC Routers for Woodworking

Wood design often requires multiple tools and different cut strategies for perfect wood cuts. A variety of woods are used in woodshops, as well. Woodworkers pay close attention to detail so we knew that designing woodworking specific CNC machines would require a tool changer for optimal cut quality and easy tool changes to switch between bits and grooves. Our technicians are very helpful in advising on the appropriate tooling and cut strategies for many different materials involved with woodworking. The Titan and HDS Series are a good fit if you want to cut hard woods because they are equipped with a 12 horsepower HSD brand spindle. This, combined with an all steel construction, allows for aggressive cuts and clean finishes.

Best Selling Wood CNC Routers

Woodworkers are most interested in our Titan and HDS Series, which are the best CNC routers for woodworking because of their tool changing capabilities. Woodworking often requires multiple tools and different cut strategies. A variety of woods are used and attention to detail/the right cutting tools are a few necessities for woodworking. These two CNC models have become our best selling CNC machines for wood and were specifically designed with these requirements in mind. Our technicians are very helpful in advising on the appropriate tooling and cut strategies for many different materials involved with woodworking. The Titan and HDS Series are a good fit if you want to cut hard woods because they are equipped with a 12 horsepower HSD brand spindle. This, combined with an all steel construction, allows for aggressive cuts and clean finishes. Woodworkers will be glad to know that the machine beds are a combination vacuum table (for vacuum hold down of flat sheets and boards) and aluminum T-slot table (for clamping and fixturing of parts not suitable for vacuum hold down). The Titan and HDS Series machines can be used with a 4th axis rotary table and aggregate tools, which are available for specialized cutting.

What customers are saying about Techno CNC machines

As the hub of our collections tools, the CNC is at the heart of many of our custom fabrication projects. Our new CNC has some great new features that allow us to be faster and more efficient. We decided to donate our previous CNC to Quelab, a community makerspace, and to purchase a new Techno CNC router for our Fabrication space. After considering our options, we chose the Techno HDS Series, and so far we are absolutely thrilled with its performance. With an automatic tool changer and multi-zone vacuum table it is easier to set up and run our projects. The fully automated high-speed spindle gives us clean cuts and works easily with soft metals like aluminum and brass; although we will continue to route mostly wood and some solid surface materials for our custom work”

“I felt that if a 4×4 CNC is good, a machine twice as large must be great! I was looking for a more industrial CNC from my AVID. I wanted something with tool changer capabilities, a vacuum bed, and better control software. I originally looked at a different company with ballscrews, but amid my search for an industrial-grade CNC machine, Techno CNC popped up. I went in to Techno in Ronkonkoma, NY to see the Techno Venture Series CNC router, and also went to that company’s facility to see their Series. There were some significant differences and things I liked more about the Techno vs. the other company. First, the Techno was just more “snappy”. It moved quicker, it moved precisely and didn’t have a spool up and down time. The other company had what looked to be acceleration/deceleration lag, while the Techno moved from spot to spot quickly and efficiently. Secondly, I preferred the industrial control software that the more advanced Techno CNC machines use. The Osai controller is very powerful and easy to use. Keep in mind, I was going from a basic home built mach4 interface to an industrial controller and it was more intuitive and easier-to-use than any other interface I have tried. Third, I appreciated how available and user friendly the components on the Techno are compared to the other company. One of the things I have learned is that when you buy industrial equipment, you’re frequently married to the company you buy from for technical support and service. With the other company with ballscrews, I don’t see how aligning a 10’ ballscrew is something a customer can do at home with limited tools or knowledge of equipment. That’s what is so great about Techno CNC; anything I need to replace or work on is out in the open and can be bolted on and off. Motor goes bad? Bolt a new one on. Issues with the helical rack/the linear rails? Easy – bolt a new one on. The ease of access paired with the fact that I am confident that if I ever need to, I can replace components on this machine myself is a huge win. I know that they use PRECISION helical rack and pinion gears. I appreciate that they are out in the open and inversely oriented with dust and debris guards above to keep dust off. They are very easy to keep clean, and even easier to service and grease. The machine requires so little maintenance – it still surprises me. I run the machine part time, and all that is needed is a single pump of grease on the bearings. I clean out the grease on the racks, and grease a light coating once a month. And fourth, the accuracy. Salesmen spin tall tales sometimes trying to get you into their products. A quick call to the tech department usually tells the truth. The other company advertises .001” accuracy on the website but when you talk to a tech, they say .003-.005”. Techno on the other hand, makes one hell of a machine with really precise components. I have measured two separate name brand tools and can confidently say that the accuracy on my Techno CNC machine is better than .001. The resolution of the movements is even better than that. Backlash is essentially zero. I don’t know how accurate you need a CNC router to be, but this machine is near on par with a HAAS mill.”

“The CNC machines are a vital part of our business as they allow us to produce parts accurately and repetitively for assembly of our products. We started with one LC series machine, then bought a second LC series machine, and we currently use our two new Titan machines. The Titan series machines are extremely accurate and powerful. The Titan includes a 12HP HSD automatic tool changer with a 8-position tool rack, high-flow pneumatically operated dust hood which extracts all the chips and debris, includes high flow vacuum plenum which firmly secures the sheets to the table as they parts are routed and extracted from the sheet. Three pop up pins are provided for easy sheet alignment, and best of all the controller is easy to use and very reliable. The CNC routers have helped our business growth tremendously. The machines have replaced the slow manual cutting of parts that we originally did, and completely did away with “human error”, which also saves time and materials. The best thing about the machines is they always work, don’t take lunch or vacation time, and never call in sick! The precision and speed of a machine of this caliber is overwhelmingly profitable. We sold our first Techno LC Series machine for good money after 15 years of service when bought our first Titan. After seeing the capabilities of the new Titan machine with an automatic tool changer spindle, we didn’t hesitate to replace our second LC machine with another Titan, only 60 days later! The newer, higher spindle speeds allow us to produce products faster. Honestly, we are so satisfied with the Techno machines that we have never had any reason to look elsewhere. The training and phone support is incredible.”

“We love our Techno CNC machine. Once it clicks and you learn the machine, you can create anything you want in an ounce of the time that it normally would take. I loved our training. I love Techno’s customer service, as well. You call – they answer! Someone should make shirts with that saying because they answer all my questions whenever they come up. Sometimes, I’ll be with a group of students, can’t answer a question, and throw Techno on speaker phone –it’s an instant answer. That’s so rare and appreciated in the fast paced world of teaching. We couldn’t be happier with the team of knowledgeable friends over at Techno. They care about their customers, make you feel like family, and there’s not enough companies in this world who you can say that about”.

“I was introduced to Techno about 3 years ago when I was in the market for a CNC. I researched a lot of different brands and Techno had the best value to quality ratio paired with very helpful sales people and customer service. I also chose Techno CNC because a colleague had the exact model and was able to help coach me through some different ways he was able to use his machine. He spoke very highly of the services and options Techno provided. That was my determining factor. I purchased my Titan Series CNC machine shortly after that. I highly recommend purchasing a Techno CNC if you are in the market for a quality machine backed up by quick responses from customer service and a team that reaches out regularly just to see how the machine is operating and if has been helpful. I’m very glad I made this investment”.
