CNC Router Add-Ons & Specialist Options

Configure your CNC router around the work you actually do. From specialist cutting options to workflow, control and material-handling upgrades, we can help you choose a practical setup for your application.

Specify the right setup from day one.

From mist spray systems and rotary devices to oscillating blades, drill banks, upgraded controls and automated handling, our team can help specify the options that genuinely add value to your process.

Improve production efficiency and reduce unnecessary manual handling.
Expand the range of materials and components your router can process.
Choose practical upgrades based on your materials, workflow and future plans.

Your CNC router should fit your workflow, not the other way around.

The right specification can make a significant difference to day-to-day productivity. Some customers need greater material flexibility, while others prioritise faster handling, easier file management or specialist processing.

We look at your materials, sheet sizes, production volume, available space and future plans before recommending specialist capabilities such as aluminium cutting, rotary machining, knife cutting or automated loading.

Our approach is straightforward: specify what will genuinely improve your process and leave out what will not. The result is a CNC router package built around your current work with room to grow.

01

Material Capability

Options to support aluminium, foam, plastics, sheet materials and specialist applications.

02

Workflow Efficiency

Upgrades designed to reduce downtime, improve handling and support higher production output.

03

Production Flexibility

Additional capabilities such as rotary work, drilling, oscillating knife cutting and more.

04

Engineer-Led Advice

Practical recommendations based on your application, not a generic list of extras.

Specialist options to expand what your CNC router can do.

Below are some of the most popular optional add-ons available across our CNC router range. Availability may depend on the machine model, size and specification.

Mist Spray System

A useful option for customers looking to machine aluminium and other non-ferrous materials on a CNC router.

Ideal for aluminium work
  • Helps reduce heat build-up during cutting
  • Supports improved cut finish on aluminium
  • Can help prolong cutter life

Rotary Device

Adds the ability to work on cylindrical and rounded components, expanding what your CNC router can produce.

For cylindrical parts
  • Suitable for round stock and decorative components
  • Useful for posts, legs, columns and bespoke parts
  • Expands production possibilities

Oscillating Blade

Designed for cutting softer, flexible or fibrous materials that are not always best suited to standard router tooling.

Knife cutting option
  • Useful for foam, rubber and gasket materials
  • Can support cleaner cuts on flexible materials
  • Popular for packaging and specialist applications

Drill Bank Attachment

Helps speed up production where repeated hole patterns or panel drilling are part of the process.

Panel processing upgrade
  • Useful for cabinetry and furniture production
  • Reduces unnecessary tool changes
  • Improves efficiency on repeat drilling work

Auto Loading Tables

Designed for production environments where reducing manual handling and improving workflow is a priority.

For higher output
  • Supports efficient sheet handling
  • Reduces manual lifting where suitable
  • Useful for busy panel-processing workshops

PC Controller Upgrade

A practical upgrade for customers wanting easier file management, networking and a more integrated workflow.

Improved usability
  • Helps streamline file transfer
  • Supports networked workshop workflows
  • Useful for busy production environments

Vacuum Hold-Down Upgrades

Vacuum hold-down upgrades can be specified where your material size, sheet type or production process requires additional capacity.

Better material hold-down
  • Useful for sheet material processing
  • Supports improved cutting stability
  • Important for larger boards and nested work

Extraction Upgrades & Configuration

Extraction can be configured or upgraded to suit the materials you process, the machine specification and the demands of your workshop.

Configured to your process
  • Removes dust and chips from the cutting area
  • Useful for joinery, cabinetry and education
  • Helps protect both operators and equipment

Safeguarding & Site Setup

CNC routers supplied by Opus CNC include the appropriate safety light barriers and freestanding posts required for the agreed machine configuration.

Additional site-specific safeguarding requirements can also be discussed during the installation planning process, taking account of the machine position, access points, operator movement and the surrounding workspace.

Included safeguarding Light barriers and freestanding posts are specified for the agreed machine configuration.
Installation planning Safeguarding and access requirements are considered before the machine is installed.
Site-specific advice Additional requirements can be discussed where the workshop layout or application requires them.

Recommended add-ons depend on what you produce.

Different industries use CNC routers in very different ways. These examples can help guide the conversation when specifying your machine.

Cabinet Makers & Cabinetry

  • Drill bank attachment
  • Strong vacuum setup
  • Dust extraction
  • PC controller upgrade
  • Auto loading options

Signage & Displays

  • Mist spray system
  • Oscillating blade
  • Rotary device
  • Specialist tooling
  • Extraction systems

Education & Training

  • Dust extraction
  • Safeguarding planned as part of the machine setup
  • Compact machine options
  • Simple control upgrades
  • Tooling starter advice

Production Workshops

  • Auto loading tables
  • Additional vacuum pumps
  • Drill bank attachment
  • PC controller upgrade
  • Bespoke configurations

Unsure which options you actually need?

That is completely normal. Many customers know what they want to produce, but are not sure which add-ons are essential, useful or unnecessary.

We help you specify what is useful — and what is not.

Our team can talk through your materials, production process, workshop space, operator requirements and future plans before recommending the most suitable CNC router options.

The goal is not to overload your quotation with extras. The goal is to build a practical machine package that supports your business from installation onwards.

Build a CNC router package around your production goals.

Whether you need mist spray, a rotary device, oscillating blade, drill bank, auto loading tables, upgraded controls, extraction or specialist configuration options, we can help you choose the right setup.
