CNC cutting service in Newcastle
CNC routing and milling machines cut, carve and drill sheet or solid material with a rotating bit under computer control — used for flat-pack furniture parts, signage, cabinetry components, engineered timber and plastic panels, aluminium brackets and prototype metal parts. Routers typically handle plywood, MDF, solid timber, acrylic and composite sheet up to the size of the machine's bed; mills and small CNC lathes handle metal and plastic stock for more precise or three-dimensional parts. Send a DXF or SVG for flat/2D cut files, or a STEP/STL for 3D milled parts, with material, thickness and quantity. Sheet goods are usually a few business days; more complex tooling or multi-operation jobs take longer. Pricing is quoted per job on material, sheet usage and machine time — a solid quote should state material grade/thickness and whether edge finishing is included.

FAQ
CNC cutting — common questions
What file type does a CNC job need?
Flat, 2D cuts (signage, panels, flat-pack parts) usually need a DXF or SVG with real-world dimensions. 3D milled parts need a STEP or STL. If you only have a drawing or photo, describe the dimensions and ask if the maker can draft it for you.
What materials can be CNC cut?
Plywood, MDF, solid timber and timber veneers, acrylic, HDPE and other engineering plastics, and — on a mill rather than a router — aluminium and other metals. Mention your material in the brief; not every workshop cuts every material.
What size sheet or part can be cut?
Limited by the machine's bed size, commonly around 1200 × 2400 mm for router work (a standard sheet) and much smaller for mill or lathe work. Ask the maker directly for larger runs or oversized parts.
How is a CNC job priced?
Per job — material cost, sheet usage/nesting efficiency and machine time. Provide your file and quantity for an accurate quote rather than a rough guess; ask whether edge sanding or finishing is included.
