CNC Machining

The Machine

Apply Works has an industrially rated CNC router with a working area of 2500mm(y) x 1300mm(x) x 70mm(z). It is equipped with a vacuum bed for efficient and extremely good work piece hold-down, as well as an automatic tool changer capable of holding up to 6 different tools at once. Both of these features enable us to process jobs efficiently, and therefore competitively, whilst achieving the accuracy required by our clients.

Materials

We can cut all types of timber and timber based products such as plywood, mdf, chipboard, OSB, Valchromat and many others. We can also cut acrylic, foam, high pressure laminates, continuous pressure laminates, the list doesn’t end there.

The Machining Service

Most of our work consists of 2D and 2.5D routing in materials up to 70mm thick. For work that requires a larger final thickness, layers can be worked on and laminated up to provide this. We also engrave text and shapes for signage projects, and boat name boards. We have a large bank of tooling from which to draw upon, including various different moulding and radius cutters in many different sizes. Where required, we can, and regularly do, machine both faces of the substrate accurately.

We are able to advise our customers as to what tolerances to use in their drawings when looking to create CNC cut joints. Having sourced the material to be cut, we accurately measure the thickness and inform you so that you can design and draw with the correct information to hand. If required, we can make alterations to your drawings based on the precise thickness of the material being used.

Our machining software can nest components on to the work area, minimising wastage of material, saving you money and time.
