Most of the products which we produce have some elements of CNC activities on them. However we do have some capacity for 3rd party work on our state of the art large format CNC machine most weeks. If you have a requirement for CNC panel cutting then feel free to get in touch.
Materials which we can process:
Plywood, Veneered Panels, MDF, ACM, Acrylic, Corian, HI-MACS, Styrofoam, Subsea Buoyancy, Foamex, Hard Woods, Metal plate engraving.

We have a range of tools suitable for most materials and material thicknesses. All our staff who operate the machine have received official AXYZ machine operator training.
We have experience in cutting a range of materials such as plywood, hard woods, laminates and acrylics.
Double sided “flip” jobs can be performed where features are machined on both sides of the work piece with perfect accuracy.
We use Vcarve Pro software for all nesting and tool path generation, this makes for efficient part layout on the material and reduces unnecessary waste.
We use the machine regularly for planning slabs of hardwoods which we use on our tables, this is a very quick process and ensure that the tabletops are perfectly flat and level.
With the tool changer we can schedule the tool paths so materials are featured and cut in one machine set-up. The example below of the love heart style gin chopping board is done this way. To produce this part the machine uses 5 different tools in sequence to produce the features and to cut out the outline of the shape. The 5 tools used are:
- 6mm ball nose cutter (for the juice slot)
- 3mm round over cutter (for the curved edge on the outline outline)
- 4mm downwards spiral (for the text indentation)
- v-bit carver (for making the soft edges on the text indentation)
- 6mm compression cutter (to cut the outline heart shape)
Our favourite material to use on the machine is plywood, for furniture we use only S grade plywood which is the premium quality, through clever design we can make the plywood parts slot together and then be simply glued to achieved the assembled unit. We also use the Festool domino system and have the slot profiles with our CNC system so these can be machine cut into the panels to reduce workshop assembly time. Some examples of products created this way is shown below:
Whatever your requirement with our design input, experience and creativity we can produce a unique quality product for you.
