Machine from different angles
Explore angled machining strategies for components that can be awkward to produce with standard flat-bed routing.
Tetra 4-Axis CNC Router
Go beyond flat-sheet cutting with specialist 4-axis machining for angled, curved and cylindrical components.
The Tetra gives workshops additional machining options when a conventional 3-axis router is not enough. Tell us what you want to make and we can advise on the right fourth-axis setup.
- Fourth-axis configurations available
- VCarve Pro included
- Safety light barriers included
- Delivery, installation & training

More Ways to Make Complex Parts
Designed for workshops producing components that call for more than conventional three-axis routing.
Take on rotary work
Configured rotary devices can support cylindrical timber and other suitably held workpieces.
Reduce repeated setups
Suitable fourth-axis configurations can help reduce the need to reposition complex parts by hand.
Materials & Applications
From specialist timber components and decorative details to contoured and angled workpieces, the Tetra can be specified around the task.
Decorative timberCarved details, columns and specialist joinery
Rotary componentsSuitable cylindrical pieces and turned-style profiles
Complex shapesAngled features and contoured components
Custom manufacturingRepeatable specialist parts and prototypes
Material, tooling, workholding and extraction suitability depend on the chosen configuration. Our team can help assess your application.
Understanding the Fourth Axis
The most useful configuration depends on the shape of your parts, how they are held and which faces need machining. These options are discussed individually with our team.
A-axis configurations
Additional angular or rotational movement can help approach suitable parts from positions beyond normal X, Y and Z routing.
C-axis configurations
A different rotational-axis arrangement may be specified for particular machining strategies and workholding requirements.
Fixed or portable rotary
Rotary workholding options can accommodate appropriate cylindrical components, including specialist timber work.
The available movements, tooling and CAD/CAM requirements are configuration-dependent. We will confirm the arrangement suitable for your project before quoting.
Find the Right Tetra Size
Six standard working areas, with bespoke sizes available. We can help you select a machine based on your largest workpieces, available space and fourth-axis requirements.
Across the range: specialist fourth-axis configurations, rotary options, VCarve Pro, installation, operator training and safety light barriers. Confirm your preferred configuration and power supply with our team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about fourth-axis machining, software, installation and choosing a suitable Tetra.
What is the difference between 3-axis and 4-axis CNC routing?
Three-axis routing uses X, Y and Z movement. A suitable fourth-axis configuration adds rotational movement for specialist angled or cylindrical machining.
Which fourth-axis arrangement do I need?
That depends on your workpiece geometry, workholding and machining approach. Tell us about your parts and we can advise on the configuration.
Is delivery, installation and training included?
Yes. Opus CNC provides delivery, installation and machine training, subject to suitable site access and agreed installation requirements.
What software is included?
VCarve Pro is included. More specialised four-axis machining may require additional suitable CAD/CAM software; discuss your intended toolpaths before ordering.
Can the Tetra be supplied for single-phase power?
The current Tetra specification describes three-phase as standard with single-phase availability. Please confirm power requirements for your chosen model and configuration.
Can you supply bespoke working areas?
Yes, bespoke working areas can be discussed alongside the six standard Tetra sizes.
Flexible CNC Machinery Finance
