Frequently Asked Questions

  • What materials can your CNC router handle?

    Our CNC router is optimised for working with aluminium sheet and plate, composite aluminium panels, and some thin-gauge mild and stainless steels. While it's not intended for heavy-duty steel fabrication or aerospace-grade tolerances, it's ideal for a wide variety of commercial and custom metal jobs. If you’re unsure whether your material is suitable, our team can assess it and recommend the best cutting approach. We focus on delivering clean, accurate results based on what the router supports reliably.

  • What types of jobs are best suited for CNC routing?

    CNC routing is perfect for jobs that require consistent cuts, complex profiles or clean finishes. This includes custom brackets, plates, boat components, ute trays, and architectural features. It also works well for small production runs or prototype builds where consistency matters. Our clients include marine professionals, vehicle builders, local trades, and businesses needing precise, tailored metalwork.

  • How does CNC routing improve turnaround times?

    Because the CNC router automates the cutting process, it’s much faster than manual methods. Once programmed, it can produce repeatable parts quickly and accurately, saving time and reducing human error. This means we can deliver completed components to the fabrication stage sooner. Combined with our in-house welding and finishing services, CNC routing helps streamline your entire project timeline.

  • Is CNC routing suitable for custom one-off pieces?

    Absolutely. While CNC is often used for repeat jobs, it’s just as effective for custom, one-off pieces. Our team can work from your design or help develop one that suits your requirements. Whether you need a single plate or a tailored bracket, CNC cutting ensures accuracy, clean edges and a professional result. It’s an ideal solution for builders or fabricators needing unique components that fit perfectly the first time.
