CNC Routers for Joinery & Furniture Makers

From Concept to Craft — Faster, Smarter, and Flawlessly Executed

Traditional Craft Meets Modern Precision

Whether you’re creating bespoke staircases, solid wood furniture, or custom architectural joinery, accuracy and finish are everything. Handcrafted excellence doesn’t mean doing everything by hand—it means delivering perfect results, efficiently.

That’s where Opus CNC routers come in.

Designed to handle the demands of busy joinery workshops, our CNC routers allow you to turn complex designs into precise components—cut, profile, drill, and rebate, all from a single file.

The CNC Advantage for Joinery Workshops

Exceptional Accuracy for Bespoke Work

From curved balustrades to mortice and tenon joints, CNC gives you the freedom to cut complex profiles with total consistency—ideal for repeat commissions or matching traditional detailing.

Perfect for Timber & Sheet Materials

Engineered to handle hardwoods, softwoods, MDF, plywood, veneered panels, solid surfaces, and composites with ease.

Faster Throughput Without Sacrificing Quality

Cut full sets of parts in one go: panels, frames, rails, spindles, and furniture components. Save time, reduce rework, and stay on schedule.

Bring Designs to Life with Total Precision

Easily import DXF or CAD drawings for intricate detailing, inlays, or custom one-off furniture pieces—without hours at the bench.

Your questions answered

FAQ for Joiners

Will a CNC router reduce the need for skilled labour?

Not replace — but enhance. CNC routers automate repetitive cutting, carving, and boring tasks, freeing up skilled joiners for finishing, assembly, and design. You’ll do more with less — and deliver consistent quality.

Can your routers handle solid hardwoods like oak or sapele?

Yes. Our routers are built with industrial-grade components and high-torque spindles, which means they cut hardwoods with ease. With the right tooling, you can cut mouldings, tenons, mortises, or even carved features in dense timber.

How accurate are your machines for producing joinery components?

Our machines are accurate to within ±0.01mm, depending on tooling and material. That means perfect-fitting panels, doors, and frames — every time.

Can I produce both traditional and modern furniture styles?

Absolutely. With a CNC router, you can switch between shaker doors, chamfered panels, intricate inlays, or completely modern slab styles — all on the same machine.

What if I’ve never used a CNC before?

No problem. We provide full training, from the software (VCarve Pro) to safe operation and maintenance. Our team will walk you through a sample project step by step, and you’ll have lifetime support afterwards.
