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.

Common Joinery & Furniture Applications

Staircase components and balustrades
Internal and external doors
Custom furniture and cabinetry
Decorative wall panelling and trims
Bespoke desks, tables, and storage solutions
Traditional and contemporary timber framing
Kitchens, alcove units, and built-ins

Frequently Asked Questions

Can your CNC routers handle solid hardwoods like oak, ash, or maple?

Absolutely. Our CNC routers are engineered to cut dense and durable materials such as oak, ash, beech, maple, walnut, and other hardwoods with ease. With the correct tooling, spindle speeds, and feed rates, you can produce smooth, accurate cuts without burning or chipping—even on intricate detailing. The machines are built with rigid steel frames, high-powered spindles (up to 9kW), and reliable servo motors, ensuring stability and precision during heavy-duty machining. Whether you’re cutting stair strings, table legs, doors, or curved mouldings, the router handles the load without compromising quality.

Do I need CAD experience to use your machines?

Not at all. While CNC routing is CAD-driven, we provide full training and recommend VCarve Pro, a user-friendly design and toolpath software that’s ideal for joiners and furniture makers. You can import simple drawings or sketch directly in the software, and with our setup support, you’ll learn how to:

Create toolpaths for cutting, drilling, and profiling
Nest components efficiently
Preview your job before it runs
We’ll walk you through everything, even if you’ve never used CAD before. Many of our customers had no CNC or CAD experience before purchasing, but now run highly efficient workflows daily.

Will a CNC router replace my manual tools and traditional skills?

Not at all—it enhances them. A CNC router won’t take away from your craftsmanship; it allows you to apply it more effectively. Think of the router as your assistant: handling time-consuming, repetitive, or precision-critical tasks so you can focus on the design, assembly, and finishing that make your work stand out.
It’s especially useful for:

Repeating the same design at scale
Cutting complex joinery with perfect alignment
Reducing time spent on marking out or jigs
By automating the most labour-intensive tasks, your workshop becomes more productive—without compromising on quality.

What if I work alone or have a small team? Will a CNC router still be worth it?

Yes—CNC routers are ideal for small teams or one-person workshops. Our machines are designed with operator independence in mind. Features like:

Vacuum bed hold-down (no need for manual clamping)
Automatic tool change (eliminates manual bit swaps)
Intuitive control systems (like Syntec or hand-held pendants)
…allow you to manage the machine solo without slowing down your workflow.
Many of our customers have scaled their output significantly, even as sole traders, thanks to the automation and repeatability CNC brings. It’s a smart investment that can save you time, reduce errors, and help you take on more projects without hiring extra staff.
