Choosing your machine
Selecting the perfect CNC Router involves considering your material requirements, production needs, and the size of your workspace. Our flatbed CNC machines are available in 8x4 through to 10x5 bed sizes and beyond. Choosing the right CNC routing machine starts with understanding your material and production volume to ensure you opt for the correct system.
Spartan CNC routers use manual tool changing to keep costs low while maintaining production-grade routing capability. Priced from £6,990 +VAT with installation, training and UK warranty included, the Spartan range suits workshops scaling from manual processes to CNC automation.
ATC routers are ideal for businesses running multiple tooling operations per job—like drilling, profiling, and pocketing—without stopping production. They save time, reduce manual errors, and increase throughput in busy workshops.
Yes, the Falcon ATC is designed for compact workshops that still demand high output. It includes a 9.0 kW spindle and Delta servos, making it a reliable and space-efficient option for manufacturers who need fast tool changes and consistent performance.
A 3-axis CNC router moves along the X, Y, and Z axes, ideal for flat work. A 4-axis router adds spindle rotation (usually 0–180 degrees), allowing angled cuts, side drilling, and more complex geometry. It’s perfect for parts like chair legs, mouldings, or curved panels.
Industrial CNC routers are widely used to machine a range of sheet and solid materials across manufacturing, signage, joinery, marine and fit-out applications.
A CNC router is used to cut, engrave, and shape materials like wood, plastic, aluminium, foam, and composites. It’s commonly used in industries such as sign-making, cabinetry, set design, marine, aerospace, and furniture production.

Industrial CNC routers are widely used to machine a range of sheet and solid materials across manufacturing, signage, joinery, marine and fit-out applications.
With the correct tooling, spindle speed and feed rate, Mantech CNC routers machine aluminium sheet, profiles and composite panels to a consistent finish.
Our CNC router range handles hardwoods, softwoods and veneered panels with consistent finish quality across furniture, joinery and cabinetry applications.
MDF is ideal for nested-based manufacturing. VCarve Pro's true shape nesting optimises sheet yield and reduces waste.
Mantech CNC routers machine acrylic, PVC, polycarbonate and HDPE cleanly with the correct tooling — ideal for signage, displays and industrial plastic components.
CNC routers are widely used for aluminium composite panels (ACM), laminated boards and specialist sheet materials — particularly for sign making, cladding and architectural fabrication.
With high-speed spindle options and vacuum bed hold-down, Mantech CNC routers are an effective and precise choice for foam and tooling board work.
CAD/CAM workflow
Every CNC router includes Vectric VCarve Pro as standard, with upgrade options to Aspire or Alphacam for advanced users.
VCarve Pro is a professional CAD/CAM package built specifically for CNC routing — covering design, toolpath creation and production workflows in a single environment. It enables 2D design creation with profile, pocket, drill, and inlay toolpaths, along with v-carving textures. Import and machine unlimited Vectric 3D clipart or individual model files effortlessly. The Pro version also offers unlimited job sizes, true shape nesting, and detailed job setup sheets, making it ideal for production settings. Training on VCarve Pro is included with every CNC router purchase to ensure seamless integration into your operations.
Resource access
Operational workflow
Create double-sided projects efficiently within a single session, eliminating the need for separate operations and reducing production time.
VCarve Pro offers a comprehensive set of tools for creating detailed vector designs, either from scratch within the software or by importing existing data.
Automatically arrange and fit vector shapes to your material, maximising usage and minimising waste for cost-effective production.
Includes support for 2D, 2.5D, and 3D machining strategies. Preview toolpaths before cutting to visualise how the final part will look on your CNC router.
Merge toolpaths, generate job summaries, and create reusable toolpath templates to streamline workflows. Use the array toolpath function to duplicate toolpaths efficiently, based on user-defined dimensions.
Scale, move, mirror, and group shapes easily within VCarve Pro. Smooth 3D objects or use the Z-slice tool to break down parts into smaller models when size, tooling, or material depth is a constraint.

The Apollo 4 Axis can machine parts at multiple angles using its rotating spindle. It’s excellent for stair components, complex mouldings, and projects that need more than just top-down routing. It also handles standard 3-axis tasks with ease.
Mantech CNC routers are available in a range of standard bed sizes to suit different workshop footprints and production requirements. The most common configurations are 8×4 (2440×1220mm) and 10×5 (3050×1525mm), covering the majority of standard sheet material sizes used in the UK.
Larger format beds are available across the Apollo M, Apollo ATC and Twin-Bed ranges for production environments handling oversized panels or requiring extended cutting areas. The Twin-Bed configuration provides two independent working zones for continuous production without downtime between loads.
If you have a specific sheet size, material or workflow requirement, our applications team will confirm the correct bed size and configuration for your operation — contact us on 0121 541 1444 or request a quote online.
Yes, all our routers come with installation, onsite training, and lifetime technical support. We also offer remote guidance, servicing, and software setup to ensure you’re fully equipped from day one.
Many of our entry-level and mid-range models can be configured for single-phase power. This is ideal for smaller workshops without access to 3-phase supply. Just ask during the quoting stage.
Yes, we offer flexible financing, including lease and purchase options. Our team can help you structure a plan that fits your business and cash flow, often with tax benefits. Finance is offered through a third-party partner; customers are more than welcome to use their own service.
