How to chooseWhat can you cut with an Opus CNC router?
From MDF and timber to plastics, aluminium and composite panels, our CNC routers help UK businesses make everything from furniture and signs to precision-cut components.
MDF & sheet timber
Cut MDF, plywood and laminated boards for kitchens, wardrobes, furniture, shopfitting and exhibition stands.
Hardwood & softwood
Shape solid timber for furniture, doors, signs, decorative details and bespoke products.
Plastics & acrylic
Produce signs, lettering, retail displays, protective covers and plastic components.
Aluminium
Cut suitable aluminium sheets, signs and light engineering parts. Specialist cutters and mist cooling may be needed.
ACM & composites
Cut aluminium composite panels and suitable sheet materials for signs, displays, shopfronts and cladding.
Foam
Shape suitable foam for packaging inserts, models, prototypes and patterns. Some jobs need specialist tools.
Solid-surface materials
Make worktops, counters, reception desks and bespoke interior fittings from suitable solid-surface sheets.
Specialist materials
Some cardboard, rubber and flexible materials require specialist blades or optional equipment.
Which CNC router is right for you?
Not sure where to begin? These three simple questions will help you narrow down your options.
What will you make?
Think about your materials, the size of the sheets and the type of products you want to cut.
How busy is your workshop?
Cutting occasionally is different from making parts all day. Choose a machine with room for your workload.
Will you use different cutters?
If jobs need several cutters, automatic changing can reduce pauses and save time.

Everything you need to get started.
Opus CNC packages are built around the complete handover: the machine, safeguarding, delivery, installation, commissioning, operator training, VCarve Pro and long-term support.
Delivery & positioning
Site access and the most suitable delivery and positioning method are planned in advance.
Installation & commissioning
Our experienced engineers install, set up and test your CNC router before handing it over.
Safety light barriers
Up to four sets of light barriers and freestanding posts supplied as required around the machine.
Hands-on training
We show you how to operate the machine, use the software and work safely.
VCarve Pro
Opus 3-axis CNC routers are supplied with professional design and toolpath software.
Lifetime technical support
WhatsApp technical support, customer portal access, ready access to replacement components and engineers based throughout the UK remain available after installation.
Support to keep your business running.
The support behind a CNC router matters just as much as the machine specification. Opus combines ready access to replacement components from our UK facility, lifetime technical support and engineers based throughout the UK to help minimise downtime throughout the life of your machine.
Replacement partsin the UK
We maintain the replacement components required for our CNC router range at our UK facility, helping avoid the delays that can come with sourcing components from overseas. When a part is required, it can be identified and dispatched quickly to help keep downtime to a minimum.
Quick help throughWhatsApp
In our experience, most day-to-day CNC support issues are related to operation, setup, tooling or software rather than a failed component. Customers can send photos and videos directly to our technical team through our WhatsApp support number, allowing many issues to be diagnosed and resolved without waiting for an engineer visit.
Lifetime support& customer portal
Support does not end after installation. Opus customers have ongoing access to lifetime technical support and our customer portal for useful machine information and support resources whenever they need them.
Engineers basedthroughout the UK
When on-site support is needed, our engineers based throughout the UK help us respond quickly. Having engineers located across the UK means customers are not dependent on a single central engineering team travelling long distances for every call-out.
Trusted by leading organisations.
Machinery supplied by Opus CNC is used across education, manufacturing, engineering, motorsport, energy, public-sector and specialist production environments.
Common questions about CNC routers.
Straightforward answers about materials, machine sizes, automatic cutter changing, software, installation, finance and support.
What size CNC router bed do I need?
A 1325 CNC router is commonly chosen for standard 8×4 sheet work. Larger models such as 1530, 2030 and above are better suited to bigger sheets, nested components and higher production requirements.
What is the difference between manual and automatic tool change?
Manual tool change machines require the operator to change cutters by hand. Automatic tool change machines change tools during the programme, helping reduce setup time and improve productivity on jobs using multiple cutters.
What materials can Opus CNC routers cut?
Opus CNC routers are suitable for MDF, plywood, hardwoods, plastics, foams, composites, solid surface materials and similar sheet products. Aluminium can also be machined with the correct tooling, feeds, speeds and optional mist-spray setup.
What is included with an Opus CNC router?
Opus CNC router packages include delivery, installation, commissioning, machine training, software training and aftercare support from the Opus team.
What software is included?
Opus 3-axis CNC routers are supplied with VCarve Pro. Fusion 360 is not supplied as standard, but our team can assist customers who use it for more advanced CAD/CAM workflows.
How long does delivery and installation take?
Installation usually takes around one day, depending on the model, specification and site access. Lead times vary depending on whether the machine is in stock or ordered to specification.
Do you provide finance or leasing options?
Yes. Finance and leasing options are available through finance partners, subject to status and approval. We also accept credit card payments.
How do you support customers after installation?
Support continues after installation through phone, email and remote technical guidance. Our engineers can assist with troubleshooting, servicing, parts and ongoing machine support.
What happens if I need technical support or an engineer?
Opus provides lifetime technical support, including WhatsApp support for fast photo and video diagnosis, access to the customer portal and ready access to replacement components from our UK facility. In our experience, most operational, setup, tooling and software support issues can be resolved remotely. If an on-site visit is required, engineers are based throughout the UK, with the visit scope and travel arrangements confirmed in advance.
What conformity documentation is supplied with the machine?
CNC routers supplied by Opus CNC are provided with the applicable conformity marking, Declaration of Conformity and supporting safety documentation relevant to the machine and market of supply.
