We are thrilled to introduce the ESSENTIAL CNC router. A CNC is one of the key elements in independent and effective eyewear manufacturing. We worked hard to bring you such a joyful and affordable machine with impressive milling performance. It is equipped with linear guide rails HG15 and NEMA 17 steppers which make this CNC faster, more accurate & more powerful than any other CNC of its size currently available. Well, obviously except our ADVANCED CNC.

SBT 2.0 DESIGN: Improved performance, brushless spindle, faster and silent stepper controllers, better connectivity, new safety elements & more.
