CNC Wood Router and engraving machine are similar in appearance, but they have different emphases, resulting in considerable differences in market price, bed structure, technical requirements, etc. between the two devices;
Compared with the engraving machine, the overall configuration of the cutting machine is higher, and the weight of the bed of the cutting machine is one-half or even twice that of the engraving machine. Moreover, most cutting machines choose 1.5 die racks, 25 or 30 guide rails, which are a grade higher than engraving machines, and all of this is to meet the performance of the cutting machine. The cutting machine is used for high-precision and heavy-duty work such as sheet cutting. The average processing speed of the CNC Wood Router can reach 15m/min, and the cut boards are required to be free of defects such as chipping, sawtooth, and wavy lines. The heavy-duty bed and high-quality rail racks can ensure that the machine will not be deformed during long-term high-speed operation. However, the engraving machine has a slow cutting speed and low precision for plate cutting, and it runs under heavy load for a long time, which seriously affects the service life of the equipment.

In addition, when selecting the type of motor, the cutting machine generally chooses hybrid servo, domestic servo or imported servo, which is different from the stepping servo of ordinary engraving machines, mainly to meet the requirements of high speed and high precision and improve processing efficiency.
In addition, the choice of spindle is another difference between the two. The power of the spindle affects the processing effect. Therefore, for high-speed cutting and cutting machines, it is necessary to choose a high-power spindle. The common ones are 4.5KW, 6KW, 9KW, 12KW, etc., while engraving machines generally use less power.
The numerical control cutting machine and the engraving machine are also different in the plate fixing: the cutting machine is basically based on the adsorption table, which requires the addition of the adsorption pump, which is also one of the reasons for the increase in cost.
