Router Cutting

Router Cutting

Router cutting is a subtractive process that uses a high-speed rotating bit to precisely shape, trim, and contour rigid and semi-rigid materials. It’s ideal for producing clean, accurate cuts in substrates like wood, acrylic, aluminum composites, and dense boards. Kongsberg router cutting systems are engineered for speed, versatility, and seamless production, no matter your material or application. It's the industry benchmark in performance, strength, and precision.
Whether your focus is sample-making, signage, displays or packaging, there’s a Kongsberg cutter router crafted to match your pace and precision. Choose a router that not only meets today’s demands, but scales with tomorrow’s ambitions.

The benefits of a routing cutter

A Kongsberg routing cutter for packaging, displays, signage or textile offers a wide range of benefits.

• Extraordinary throughput and speed: tackle short runs and volume work alike with minimal setup.
• Ideal for short run production: easily adapt to varying job sizes without compromising efficiency.
• Very short set-up time: switch between materials or jobs quickly to maximize uptime.
• Tooling versatility: handle corrugated, solid board, foam, plastics, wood, acrylic and more with specialist heads like MultiCUT‑HP and ACS router bits.
• Built to last: robust steel framing and dependable routers mean 24/7 reliability, keeping production moving.
