When to expand your CNC router table
At Premier Plasma CNC, we offer table expansion kits that many customers use to grow their business. Many of you might be wondering: when to choose these kits? We’re here to answer that question.
- When you project sizes are growing
Maybe you have a router table of 2x2 or any
other size. There are chances you’re starting to handle larger sheets of
materials. These materials could be steel panels, full-size plywood, or
aluminum. It always helps to expand your existing table without any need to
again buy a router CNC table.
- To future-proof your shop
Maybe you don’t need a 4x8 CNC router, today, but after six months from now. Investing in
an expandable system prepares you for the future. You can upgrade with the kit
when you’re financially ready to do so.
- For increasing your production capacity
Larger router
tables save time spent on resetting and repositioning material. When you
take on more client jobs or ramp up production of your own products, an
expansion kit improves throughout. It does so by offering additional working
space in one go.
- You’re diversifying applications
You might be shifting from just CNC wood to
mixed-media fabrication. It can include acrylic sheets, furniture panels, or
sheet metal signage. Having extra room on your CNC table allows you to
accommodate complex layouts and multiple materials.
- You want to optimize workflow
With more surface area, you can do batch
cutting and tool path optimization. A larger table offers you the freedom to
run multiple parts in one session. It also lets you nest components more
efficiently.
6. You Want to Avoid Buying a New Machine
Upgrading to a larger machine entirely is
expensive. Table expansion kits are a cost-effective middle ground. Same
machine, more capability, at a fraction of the price of a brand-new system.
