Our CNC Wood Routing Capabilities

At Istar Machining, we offer top-level wood routing services with these key features:

1. Amazing Precision

Our machines work with ±0.005″ accuracy (that’s about the thickness of a human hair!). This means your parts fit together perfectly every time. Our precision CNC machining systems ensure consistent quality across every project.

2. Fast Working Speeds

Our CNC routers use high-speed spindles that turn at 18,000-24,000 RPM. This means:

• Smoother finishes
• Faster production time
• Less sanding needed after cutting

3. Multi-Axis Machining

We offer both standard and 5-axis machining for wood projects:

• 3-axis routing – for flat and simple 3D work
• 4-axis routing – adds rotation for cylindrical work
• 5-axis routing – for complex 3D shapes and sculptures

Our 3D CNC routing capabilities allow us to create truly unique three-dimensional pieces that would be impossible to make by hand.

4. Large Working Area

We can handle projects up to:

• 4′ × 8′ sheets for panel work
• Up to 6″ thickness for solid wood
• Custom sizes for special projects

5. Advanced Software

Our team uses professional software like Vectric Aspire, Fusion 360, and Mastercam to:

• Create perfect toolpaths
• Optimize cutting strategies
• Reduce waste
• Ensure quality
