3 Axis CNC Router
3 axis CNC router is a type of standard CNC machine tool equipped with X, Y and Z axis. X axis is horizontal, Y axis vertical, and Z axis refers vertical to X and Y axis. It is a computer number
controlled machine tool that adopts CNC cutters for cutting, carving, routing, engraving, grooving, drilling on foam, wood, stone, plastic, acrylic, metal, and other materials. They are widely used in hobbyists, small business, home shop, indutrial manufacturing, school education. It is controlled by computer with CNC software, you can input your designed CNC files to the CNC software, the software will send a command to the three axis CNC router machine, then the machine will start to work according to the command, a shape will be output in minutes. You can choose different three axis CNC routers with different specifications to fit different materials, you can also choose different machines with different table sizes to fit materials with different sizes. CNC router table sizes include 2'x2', 2'x3', 4'x4', 4'x6', 4'x8', 5'x10', 6'x12' by feet, which can also be known as 16"x16", 16"x24", 24"x24", 24"x36", 24"x48", 48"x48", 48"x96", 60"x120", 80"x120", 80"x160" by inches. Someone may distinguish by table sizes with millimeter, including 600mmx600mm, 600mmx900mm, 1200mmx1200mm, 1200mmx1800mm, 1200mmx2400mm, 1300mmx2500mm, 1500mmx3000mm, 2000mmx3000mm, 2000mmx4000mm and so on. They will be divided into hobby series, small series, desktop series, tabletop series, industrial series according to table sizes. The so-called three-axis is that in actual machining, only two of the three axes are running, such as the X-axis, Y-axis are running, then the Z-axis is stopped.
