CNC routing is perfect for cutting a wide variety of composites, acrylics, and wood.
Our CNC routers are able to achieve sharp edges and tight tolerances on materials that would be otherwise affected by the heat of a laser. Our online CNC router cutting service will ensure your parts are cut to spec every time.
The CNC router cuts at an accuracy of +/-0.005” or better in composites, plastics, and wood products.
The CNC router cuts at an accuracy of +/-0.005” or better in composites, plastics, and wood products.
When a CNC router cuts through a piece of material, the router’s tooling displaces a little extra material that is removed, known as kerf. Our software accounts for kerf in every single cut so that you don’t have to.
Rest assured your parts are cut on the best machine at the most affordable price.
There’s no need to pre-nest your parts when you upload your files. Our in-house algorithms within our app will do it for you.

“I really can’t say enough good things about SendCutSend. I love this place. They answered my support questions immediately, even over the weekend. The website was easy to use for uploading and selecting materials and gave me detailed information on the status of the order. The parts arrived within a week and were perfect. This opens up a whole new way of making parts, one that is faster, better, and cheaper. My plasma cutter might get jealous.“
