The CNC routers are widely used in the shaping of wood and other materials and have many design specifications. Several factors, therefore, affect the cost of a CNC router, including whether it is new or reconditioned, how fast it can process material, whether it has multiple spindle heads or not, among others.
Since year of 2011, the lowest cost of a CNC router is easily ten times less than the highest level machine, so selecting the appropriate one can involve some searching to compare features and prices. Routers made in nations such as China, where labor costs are low, are also much less expensive versus comparable models made in Europe or the United States. Since a mini CNC router can be over 100 times cheaper than an industrial model, it is important to define the factors that go into such a wide range of prices in the cost. A mini CNC router also called a desktop CNC router or hobby CNC router, they are usually with small table area, the working area from 300x200mm to 600x900mm and so on such as our hot sale CNC 6040, CNC 3040, CNC 6090. They often are constructed of materials such as wood and aluminum, and the cutting action is very simple. Though they must have a controller system to qualify as a CNC machine, but they are mini CNC type which ideal for hobbyist and small workshop. Very high-end models affect the cost of a CNC router by having up to four to five cutting axes instead of the traditional three. The table size is very big, and the machines are several tons worth of high-grade steel. Some have multiple cutting spindles and built-in computer controls, Tolerances are still at the 0.0005 inch (0.0127 millimeter) maximum level, however, and training services offered by the seller are offered for an extra fee. CNC router parts for these machines will also be the most expensive, and the equipment often comes with a warranty to protect against manufacturer defects. Which one you will need? Before you buying, we need to consider that what we will need the machine to do. If high end, the price must be higher, and as far as now, the mini CNC machine are the most of affordable kinds of CNC routers, but if you need to fulfill high-end task, that is really hard for them.
What our customers exactly need? What our customers really concern? What kinds of supports they urgently want? ChinaCNCzone always keeps above questions in mind, and also always listen to our customer’s true opinions and suggestions.In order to understand our customers’ actual need better and clearer, during 15th-25th, May, in 2016, ChinaCNCzone Team had a successful and meaningful visit for our Poland old customers and markets.

As a leading China CNC Router manufacturer, we supply many hot sale mini CNC router such as CNC 6040, CNC 6090, CNC 3040, they are ideal hobby CNC routers and desktop CNC routers.
Many customers already have the mini CNC router
made by ChinaCNCzone, and also are very skillful to use them to create
many samples and demo they need. However, as we all know, to make some
samples, own a mini CNC machine is not enough, and know how to use a
mini CNC machine is also not enough too, and there are many users asked
us what kinds of CNC router bits they need to use to do some special
task?
Today, ChinaCNCzone introduce 3 main type of CNC router bits
Flat Bottom Engraving bits: made material
is Tungsten steel, ideal for two-dimensional carving, cutting,
three-dimensional sculpture, emboss, and the main material it can
engrave are Acrylic, color Board, PVC, hardwood, MDF.
Router Bits for milling cutter: made
material is Tungsten steel, and they are ideal for engraving, cutting.
Mainly used on milling machine surface machining of flat surfaces,
steps, channels, forming and cutting work piece, main cutting material
are Acrylic, color Board, PVC, wood, MDF and so on.
We have milling cutter in different flutes such as two, four and so on.
CNC router bits for drilling hole, made
martial is Tungsten steel, mainly used for precision metal machining,
craft punch, lime, walnut, diamond wax, amber, jade, jade, key punch.
They can only be used to drilling holes can not be used for engraving.
All above CNC router bits made in China
are widely used, if you need to do to stainless steel, we suggest much
better CNC router bits.
Actually,
a standard 5 axis CNC router machine is with big size and can do many
complicated engraving tasks, and also, the price is tens thousands of
USD dollars, for a hobbyist, buying a standard 5 axis CNC router is not
that easy, and also no need.
But sometimes, we really need a affordable mini CNC machine with 5 axis to do some work. So ChinaCNCzone designed mini 5 axis CNC router such as HY-3040 and HY-6040, after released, they are really hot sale and can undertake many tasks. They are really ideal hobby CNC router and desktop CNC router for our users, and they are mini CNC type for hobbyist and small workshops. And what is more, they are with really affordable and attractive prices.
But what exactly our mini 5 axis CNC
router can do? First it can engrave a wide range of different of
material such aluminum, copper acrylic, wood, resin, brass, PVC, stone,
jade and so on. If you own the version with cooling system, you can not
imagine how powerful it is.

As we
know, a standard 5 axis CNC is powerful and fulfill many tasks and the
range of sizes a 5 axis CNC router is capable of routing is very broad.
Like standard routers, the bit can be changed as needed, so with an
appropriately sized bit, a very small object can be cut. Similarly, a
standard 5 axis CNC routers are large machines, and while their size
varies, most are capable of carving work pieces that are several feet
high and much longer than the width of the machine.
Due to their large size, a standard 5
axis CNC router costs tens of thousands of US dollars. Some people have
been trying to make the software that these machines require available
for free via open source licensing. This would allow engineers and other
skilled individuals to construct their own 5 axis CNC router system.
Even with open source technology a 5 axis
CNC router is unlikely to be found in even an advanced home woodshop.
They are too large and too expensive for that purpose. The primary
setting for their use is in mid- to large-scale manufacturing using wood
products.
But for some CNC hobbyist, they just want
a 5 axis CNC to do some much simple hobby job such as small design,
hobby craft, or open a small shop, it is not good for them to buy a big 5
axis CNC machine value tens of thousands of US dollars, so ChinaCNCzone
designed its mini 5 axis CNC machine special for above working environment mentioned.
Now our hot sale mini CNC routers are HY-3040 and HY-6040, we also called them desktop CNC router and hobby CNC router. Even they are mini CNC type, they can not only do simple task but also can do many complicated that a industrial one can fulfill.
And they get through strict test for
Resonance, Rigidity and Stability, and the result proves that they work
very steadily. (When they do round Aluminum carving, we put a coin on
the spindle, in the whole test process, the coin not moved and dropped off, please kindly refer to below our test video: https://youtu.be/8iXeMvDY7mU)
What is a Desktop Hobby Mini 5 Axis CNC Machine?
A 5
axis CNC router is an advanced CNC machine that can perform all the
tasks of a standard router, but with automation and greater precision.
The machine is capable of carving any material that can be used in a
standard router. Although plastic and polyurethane can be used, wood is
the most common material for the machine.
Generally specking, when we talk a 5 axis
CNC router, we mean is the industrial level ones, they are large size
with expensive price, but today we talk the mini 5 axis CNC machine, it is a mini CNC type of hobby CNC router or desktop CNC router, but with powerful function too such as ChinaCNCzone HY-3040 and HY-6040.
A mini 5 axis CNC router working
principle is similar as a industrial one, and to operate a mini 5 axis
CNC router, a worker needs only to create a model of the finished
product on a computer, usually as a three dimensional wire frame model.
Once the digital model is complete, the worker loads the work piece onto
the router. The computer reads the model and carves the mini CNC
machine according to the exact specifications that were programmed into
the computer.
In order to get such specific results, a
mini 5 axis CNC machine is capable of rotating the work piece and the
router itself in a number of ways. The router bit itself is capable of
moving around the work piece and performing routing operations at almost
any depth.
There are a few different methods that a
mini 5 axis CNC router uses to rotate the work piece as well. Together,
these adjustments can alter the angle of the table to the specific
degree needed. The table itself can move and rotate as well.
On May
13th, 2016, our Russia friend Mr. Ишин Николай came to visit our office
and factory with his team. Through years of business cooperation, we are
already not only supplier and customer relationship; what is more, we
are good friends. During these years, we help and support each other to
make progress, to provide high quality products to local customers, and
to explore the market together.
We share the same common company value
such as working together, being innovative, thinking for customers,
providing best service, being positive and responsible, that is why both
of us are getting bigger and bigger, better and better through these
years.
During this visit, we displayed new mini CNC routers such as CNC 6090 with DSP controller box, and also showed how to operate our hot mini 5 axis CNC router HY 6040, and also our new IC grinding CNC router machine for cell phone repair.
As about the closer future cooperation, both of us believe there is still much margin. As a leading China CNC router
manufacturer, we will not only develop more and more new products
according to the market demand, and also we will do our best to reduce
our customers cost such as shipping fees to let more and more customers
can afford our products and service.
ChinaCNCzone, to be your best mini CNC router supplier from China.
Many mini CNC router users asked us for mini CNC machine which can work on 150mm thick materials, and generally speaking, seldom mini CNC type can engrave thickness more then 100mm, but now, according to our
customers’ demand and precious suggestions, our new model CNC 6090 can engrave material thickness high to150mm, this is really a good news for most of our hobby CNC router and desktop CNC router users.
This CNC 6090 is developed and designed
together by ChinaCNCzone technicians and overseas engineers of King Saud
University from Saudi Arabia, the efficient working area is
X600mm*Y900mm*Z150mm, the biggest improvement is the efficient working engraving height of the Z axis is improved to 150mm from 100mm,
and this means our new CNC 6090 can accomplished many more complicated
engraving tasks than before. And this will be very competitive compared
with some full size CNC routers with large working area.
And actually, for some complicated
engraving task, our mini CNC router is even more faster then more
expensive and larger CNC routers, for example for below woodworking of
Buddha sample, a bigger CNC router may take about 3 days, but our mini
CNC router 6090,30 minutes is quite enough.
ChinaCNCzone, engraving your colorful life, as a leading China CNC router factory, to provide the best and most suitable product is always our goal.
How to Select a Desktop CNC Router?
Generally speaking, a desktop CNC router is also called a mini CNC router which is a kind of mini CNC machine,
and its price lower then full size ones and also they can be widely
used in different fields for small businesses and hobbyists.
A standard feature of a desktop
CNC router is an engine providing one or two horsepower, running off 120
volts of electricity. This makes the machine convenient to use inside a
typical commercial or home workshop.
A desktop CNC router is with compact size to save space and storage, as well as cost of transportation.
How to select a desktop CNC router? Today let us give you some simple suggestions。
First, select a desktop CNC router
that does not take up much space because it this is very important if
your business is planning to expand in the near future, a smaller size
desktop CNC machine can be easily to be shifted around or moved to a
different place any you want.
Second, limitations may be
significant for a desktop CNC router in comparison with industrial CNC
routers since the size and lower price generally mean it will have fewer
features.
Third, before buying, verify that the desktop CNC
router is able to handle all the functions your business requires and
will allow additional functions to be added in the future.
Third, Generally speaking, a desktop CNC
router usually focus on the needs of a specific industry, material or
task, so research should be done beforehand to make sure the proper
model is selected.
As a leading and professional mini CNC router manufacturer, ChinaCNCzone supply many hot models of deskop CNC routers such as CNC 3040 series, CNC 6040 series, CNC 6090 series and HY-3040
series, each with different working size and can undertake different
task, if you are interested, please kindly feel free to contact us.
Before talking about where a desktop cnc router can be used?Let us talk about
What is a desktop CNC router first.
A desktop CNC router or a mini CNC router, is a small, lightweight
mini CNC machine used in engraving,carving and drilling. Depending on the make and model
of the desktop CNC router, it is capable of doing light routing work in
various materials such as plastic, wood, granite, acrylic and
non-ferrous metals. As demand continues to grow for this compact
machine, the price has consistently been declining, allowing individuals
to enter the commercial market or hobbyists to complete home projects.
It is
believed that the rising popularity of desktop CNC routers will
eventually replace traditional woodworkers. These may provide the
opportunity for ordinary people to create intricate designs in a
fraction of the time it takes experienced artisans. Software used in
conjunction with a desktop CNC router helps individuals or businesses
become top performers. The software provided with the purchase of a mini CNC router is usually simple to learn and does not require the user to have
advanced technical skills.
Where a desktop CNC router
A desktop CNC router can be widely used in engraving, instrument making,
prototyping and carving in a variety of industries, such as
manufacturing, arts and crafts, decorating and advertising. It is common among small businesses and hobbyists
instead of a full-size CNC machine. Hobbyists like to buy a desktop CNC
router for creating unique toys for their collections such as below:
As a leading desktop CNC router factory,
ChinaCNCzone is dedicated to provide users the affordable high quality
desktop CNC router always, and we already have many hot model ones such
as CNC 6040, CNC 3040, CNC 6090, HY-3040 and so on. They are widely used in different field like woodworking, arts and crafts with 4 axis and mini 5 axis.
Now
there are more and more CNC hobbyist, and they make many different
models of interesting things, each hobbyist wants to own a ideal hobby CNC router, but sometimes they have no ideas on how to select
one, ChinaCNCzone today share 4 tips for reference.
First, before choosing a hobby CNC router
that is best for you, carefully consider how you will use the unit, how
often you will use it, and where you intend to store the unit in your
workshop. A hobby CNC router is generally smaller than professional
units, which will limit the size of materials that you can machine.
Hobby CNC router also tend to have fewer advanced features, such as
self-changing bits, so you will need to figure out what features are
high priority for your needs, and which ones you can do without.
Second,be sure to do a bit of research
into various hobby CNC router software options as well. A CNC, or
computer numeric control machine, must be used in conjunction with a
computer that can run the appropriate programs for controlling the
machine. Some routers will include a computer with the purchase, while
others must be hooked up to a machine not included with the purchase. If
you already own a computer you intend to use with the hobby CNC router,
be sure the computer is compatible with the machine's requirements, and
the appropriate software can be loaded onto the computer.
Third, a CNC router is designed to cut
away material from a large piece of wood, metal, plastic, or other
material. You will need to decide what materials you are likely to cut,
as this will decide what kind of hobby CNC router you will need to
purchase. Some machines are equipped to handle cutting of various
materials, while others are intended for one type of material only. You
will also need to think about the size of the pieces of material you are
likely to cut at any point. The size of the machine's bed, as well as
the overhead clearance, will decide how large of a piece your hobby CNC
router can cut. Be sure to buy a machine that can handle the largest
piece of material you are likely to cut for your hobby purposes.
Fourth some hobby CNC router models are designed
for use on a workbench, while other units are larger and feature an
independent stand or support. Take measurements in your workspace to
determine which design is most appropriate for your space, and remember
that the machine can take up a significant amount of space on a
workbench, so you may need to find a place to store the machine when it
is not in use. Standalone units will also take up a fair amount of space
in a workshop, so these units are usually only suitable for larger
spaces.
As a leading China mini CNC router manufacturer, our models such as CNC 6040, CNC 3040, CNC 6090, HY-3040
are ideal for CNC hobbyist, they not include a computer, and the
largest size one CNC 6090 with working area 600mm*900mm*150mm, and can
engrave wide range of material such as wood, acrylic, brass,
alumimun,PVC, PCB and resin.
Our mini CNC router such as CNC 3040, CNC 6040, CNC 6090 made by ChinaCNCzone can support Mach 3 software by parallel port and USB CNC software by USB interface, and now our CNC 6040Z and 6090 CNC router can also be compatible with our new updated Mach 3 USB controller.
USB CNC controller or Mach 3 USB controller? Which one better? Actually, we can not tell you directly, but let us make simple comparisons for you.
First, what software they can support?
Mach
3 USB controller only support mach 3 software. (ChinaCNCzone provide
mach 3 crack English version for free and original version by paying for
4 different language)
USB CNC controller: two kinds of softwares, only USB CNC software when use the USB interface (ChinaCNCzone provide USB CNC software for free.), but when use parallel port with computer, only mach 3 software.
Second, support computer system
Mach 3 USB controller: Win 7 32 Bits.
USB CNC controller: Win 10, Win 8，Win 7，Win xp
Note:
No matter mach 3 software or USB CNC software, if you update the Win
system, you need to do a backup for both first in order to use the
already registered software as before.
Third, support language
Mach 3 software: Crack version only English and Chinese, Original: English, French, German, Portuguese, Russian.
USB CNC software: provides different languages for free.
Fourth,
mach3 software is more popular than USB CNC software because more users
are familiar with it, and it is more easier and efficient for them to
operate.
And some users like
USB CNC software too. Because it has special advantages such as it is
free and it support multi-language and also work very steady too.
Fifth: Cost
Mach
3 USB controller: most users are familiar with Mach 3 software, so mach
3 USB controller means operating easily and saving time. Even though
the cost is a little higher, customers still like to select it.
USB CNC controller: free Multi-language and also work very steady, and cost less, many users also like it too.
As a leading mini CNC router manufacturer and hobby CNC router supplier, ChinaCNCzone never stops to develop new technology to better meet customers and users actual need.
And now, according to customers need, ChinaCNCzone make a breakthrough about the USB controller boxes of CNC 6040 and CNC 6090: they can now support Mach3 USB controller.
What are the advantages of the Mach3 USB controller?
1.With
the Mach 3 USB controller, the CNC 6040 and CNC 6090 can be connect
with notebook and desktop computer directly with USB interface, no need
to find old version of computer with parallel port any more, and this
make things more easily.
2.Can be compatible with mach 3 software directly,and no need to use USB CNC software like before.
3.Through setting mach 3 software, users can adjust the spindle speed of the mini CNC router according to need easily.
