What Is Router Cutting?

April 28, 2017

Router cutting is the process of cutting flat sheets of various materials by use of spinning bits to create different shapes and sizes of non-printed and printed products. Computer controls allow for precision control of this style of cutting, and as a result companies, such as ours, can mass produce products with ease. While many materials are suitable for other methods of cutting and shaping, there are those materials that require the use of this method in order to produce optimal results.

Why Turn to Router Cutting?

There is a variety of reasons to use a router cutter to create products, such as:

  • A high level of accuracy, thanks to computer controls
  • The ability to cut thick materials that are not suitable for die cutting
  • Consistency of results
  • Cuts non-printed and printed materials with equal accuracy
  • No required tooling
  • An inexpensive cutting process since it requires minimal setup
