Understanding wood CNC machining center

The wood cnc machining center, also called a woodworking CNC belongs to the category of wood machinery.

What is a wood CNC machining center

 It is a CNC (computer numerical control ) machine that creates objects from wood.  Overall, the working of a wood CNC machine is relatively similar with the metal CNC machine. The CNC machine works with a spindle designed to cut wood and it usually has a range of 8000 to 30,000 revolutions per minute.  The wood cnc machine works on the cartesian coordinate system with the 3 axis (X, Y, Z). The X-axis is usually the longest of the three running front to back. The Y-axis runs from left to right while the Z-axis runs up and down.


Like the others metal CNC machines, working with a wood cnc machining center requires a specific training and an understanding of CNC programmes in general. In case of problems with the machine, the risk can be important for the machine but also for the operator.

What are the main advantages of a wood cnc machining center ?

The Wood CNC machining center is efficient because it works in all three directions in perfect unison, giving this machine the capability of carving complex shapes.


With Exapro you can filter searches for your vertical CNC machine according to the following criterias :

• Axis Number
• X stroke in mm
• Y stroke in mm
• Z stroke in mm
• X speed in m/min
• Y speed in m/min
• Z speed in m/min

You can also display your searches by location of the machines year of the machine and the machine brand.


The working of the a wood cnc machine is based in CAD (Computer-Assisted Design) to run the program. This software is  normally sell with the machine itself. Once the program is prepared and ready to use, the user select the type of cutter and spindle. The software will calculate the cutting process. Finally, the user secures the machine and the process can begin.

Area of use

The wood CNC machining center is used in various areas link to the wood production such as engineering, prototyping, wood production, but it could also be used in art and architecture.
