Router add-ons price list
Common router extras are priced separately from the base machine. Use this list to compare vacuum options, starter tooling, dust extraction and rotary attachments before you ask SalesPrice Quote Desk for a written quote.
| Add-on group | Typical fitment | Included | Notes | List price (ex VAT) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vacuum bed upgrade | 4 x 8 ft class router | Plenum bed, spoilboard surface, 4 zones, valves and hoses | For nested sheet work | R 48 500 |
| Vacuum pump package | 4 x 8 ft class router | Oil-lubricated pump with filters, hose set and fittings | Matched to standard vacuum bed | R 69 500 |
| Starter tooling pack | General board cutting | Compression bits, straight cutters, surfacing cutter, collets and holders | Mixed MDF, chipboard and ply work | R 12 900 |
| Extended tooling pack | Woodworking and shopfitting | Starter pack plus spare compression cutters, drill set and acrylic tools | Broader day-to-day mix | R 24 800 |
| Dust extraction unit | Single router connection | Extraction unit with collection bags, hose and machine hood connection | For one production router | R 28 500 |
| Heavy-duty dust extraction unit | Larger spindle or higher chip load | Higher airflow extractor with larger collection capacity and hose set | For longer shifts | R 44 900 |
| Rotary attachment | Light cylindrical work | Rotary axis, chuck, tailstock and mounting kit | For columns, legs and round parts | R 58 000 |
| Servo rotary attachment | Continuous indexed production | Heavier rotary axis with servo drive, chuck and tailstock | For more repeat work | R 86 500 |

What these add-on prices cover
These rows cover items that change the working setup of a CNC router and the way it is used in production. Most cabinet makers and shopfitters in KwaZulu-Natal look at these figures alongside the main router list, because the machine price on its own is rarely the full buying picture.
Listed amounts are for standard configurations with ordinary workshop use in mind. That usually means one vacuum arrangement, a practical starter tool set, a matched dust extraction unit, or a rotary attachment sized for light production work. Crating, delivery, installation travel and special electrical work are priced separately.
- Vacuum items are shown as complete working sets where stated.
- Tooling rows cover practical starter packs for common production work.
- Dust extraction prices cover machine-side collection for the router.
- Rotary rows are for indexed or continuous round work depending on the specification shown.
How to compare one row with the next
Read the specification column carefully before comparing Rand values. A lower figure can reflect a smaller pump, fewer zones, fewer cutters, or a lighter extraction fan. On rotary equipment the swing capacity, chuck arrangement and drive method can move the price quite a bit.
Another point is fitment level. Some rows include mounting hardware, hoses, valves and basic connection parts, while others cover the main unit only. If two options seem close in price but one includes the support pieces the installed cost can land very differently.
- Check whether the row is for a 4 by 8 foot class router or a larger bed.
- Look for the number of vacuum zones where a bed upgrade is listed.
- See whether tooling packs include collets and holders or cutters only.
- For dust units, compare airflow class and bag or cartridge arrangement.
Add-ons that usually move from nice-to-have to necessary
Flat sheet work changes a lot once a vacuum bed is added, especially on melamine, MDF and thin board where clamps get in the way. Many Pinetown workshops start with a mechanical hold-down plan and then cost vacuum once they see the amount of nested work on the schedule. On humid coastal days the right spoilboard management matters just as much as pump size.
Dust extraction is rarely optional in joinery and shopfitting work. Fine dust builds quickly around a router, and the extraction unit needs to suit the spindle output, hood size, cut volume and hose diameter. A small bag unit may be enough for intermittent cutting but not for full-day sheet production.
Tooling is the other item that catches buyers out. A machine can arrive ready to run, yet the real output depends on having the right compression bits, straight cutters, spoilboard surfacing tools and drills on hand. A lean starter pack is often enough to begin, then the written quote can add extra cutters for acrylic, solid wood or aluminium composite panel work.
What tends to change the final figure
Prices move when the add-on needs to match a larger router, a heavier spindle, or a different production method. A vacuum pump for a small single-table machine is priced differently from a package for a larger bed with multiple hold-down zones and more leak area.
There are also workshop-specific changes that do not show in a simple list row. Hose runs, separator drums, extra valves, rotary tailstock support, spare collets and duplicate tool holders all affect the quote. If the machine is headed to an inland site with long cable runs or a coastal shop with tight floor space, that gets noted when the formal quotation is written.
- Bed size and vacuum zone count.
- Pump type and airflow capacity.
- Number and type of cutters in the tooling pack.
- Extraction airflow, filter format and bin size.
- Rotary length, diameter capacity and chuck style.
Turning a list price into a written quote
A stable reference point helps with budgeting and machine planning. Once you have narrowed the machine and the extras, the next step is a written quote that combines the base router with the options that suit your material and workflow.
Most buyers send three things through our contact form: the router size they are comparing, the add-ons they know they need, and the work they plan to cut most often. A cabinet workshop may ask for nested board cutting with vacuum and dust extraction, while a signage shop may add a rotary axis and a broader tooling pack. If finance is being estimated, that can be costed from the same written configuration.
SalesPrice Quote Desk publishes permanent list prices and written quotes. The value in the quote is the clarity of the build and the extras included, not a short-lived special.
Price list notes for vacuum, tooling, dust and rotary items
Start with the router price list and then add these items line by line. That gives a cleaner view than trying to guess the full machine figure from memory. The written quote can then show the machine, options and any finance estimate as separate parts.
For workshops across KwaZulu-Natal and elsewhere in South Africa, these prices work well as a budgeting sheet. They help you decide whether to start with the essentials only or cost the machine in a fuller production trim from day one.

Questions we get asked
Are these add-ons included in every router list price?
Base router prices and add-on prices are shown separately so you can build a configuration that suits your own production work.
Can I add vacuum, dust extraction and tooling to one written quote?
The written quote can combine the router, vacuum setup, extraction unit, starter tooling and other extras into one configuration.
Do you list clearance or ex-demo router extras?
SalesPrice Quote Desk publishes permanent list prices and written quotes, without clearance lines or ex-demo specials.
