CNC Routers
Desktop CNC routers from Maxnc — affordable, production-grade machines built for prototyping, small-scale production, and hobby use.
Category overview
Desktop Router Machines
Maxnc routers are benchtop machines designed for desktop workspaces. They sit alongside our CNC mills and lathes in a lineup that Ximotion LLP has been manufacturing in the USA since 1996.
Each router is offered in the two control approaches used across the Maxnc range, so you can match the machine to the work you run most often.
- Solidly constructed benchtop build for repeated use.
- Closed-Loop and Open-Loop configurations.
- Suited to prototyping and small-scale production.
- Supported by Maxnc replacement parts and accessories.
Control configurations
Two Ways to Drive the Router
Closed-Loop
Closed-Loop motion control with feedback, as specified for the Maxnc 3-axis systems built on NEMA 23 servo motors.
Open-Loop
Open-Loop motion control using the Maxnc 3-axis NEMA 23 stepper configuration — a straightforward, economical option.
Matched Computers
Control systems for these machines are listed separately in the CNC Computers category, so you can confirm the exact motor and axis spec.
