CNC router price list
Permanent router configurations we quote most often, with list prices shown ex VAT. Use the list to compare bed sizes, spindle options and extraction readiness before asking SalesPrice Quote Desk to turn a list price into a written quote.
| Work area | Machine type | Main specification | Typical use | List price (ex VAT) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 600 x 900 mm | 3-axis router | 1.5 kW spindle, manual tool change | Small parts, engraving, samples | R 89 500 |
| 1 200 x 1 200 mm | 3-axis router | 2.2 kW spindle, ball screw drive | Panels, signage, joinery components | R 124 500 |
| 1 300 x 2 500 mm | 3-axis router | 3.0 kW spindle, full-sheet table | Cabinet panels and nested board work | R 184 500 |
| 1 300 x 2 500 mm | 3-axis router with vacuum-ready table | 3.0 kW spindle, zoned plenum base | Board cutting with planned vacuum upgrade | R 214 500 |
| 1 500 x 3 000 mm | Heavy-frame 3-axis router | 4.5 kW spindle, geared drive | Larger sheets, plastics and composite work | R 268 000 |
| 1 300 x 2 500 mm | ATC router | 9.0 kW spindle, automatic tool-change | Cabinet production with frequent cutter swaps | R 398 500 |
| 1 500 x 3 000 mm | ATC router | 9.0 kW spindle, vacuum-ready table | Shopfitting and higher daily output | R 462 000 |
| 2 000 x 3 000 mm | ATC production router | 9.0 kW spindle, larger bed and frame | Oversize sheet work and continuous production | R 548 000 |

What sits behind each listed router price
Each row represents a machine configuration we can price on a repeatable basis for regular quoting and supply. The listed amount covers the router in the stated size and build level, with the main drive components, control package and standard operating setup that belong to that configuration.
List prices are published so a workshop in Pinetown, Ballito, Pietermaritzburg or elsewhere in South Africa can compare like with like before asking for a formal quotation. We keep the structure steady so that one row can be weighed against the next without hidden substitutions creeping in later.
- Bed size is shown in working terms, such as 1 300 x 2 500 mm or 2 000 x 3 000 mm.
- Spindle power affects cutting rate, cutter range and edge finish on heavier board work.
- Drive style and frame weight matter where daily production hours are high.
- Tool-change and vacuum hold-down are priced as separate build levels where applicable.
How to read the rows without mixing up the build levels
A common mistake on a router list is to compare only the Rand figure while skipping the specification line. A lighter three-axis machine with manual tool changes sits in a different class from a production unit with automatic tool-change, vacuum zoning and a larger spindle, even if both share a similar table size.
Read from left to right. Start with the work area, then the machine type, then the main specification note, and only then the price. That order usually makes the decision clearer, especially for cabinet shops pricing nested board work versus sign shops cutting thinner sheets and plastics.
- Small format machines suit sample work, engraving panels and compact joinery parts.
- Full-sheet 1 300 x 2 500 mm machines are the common starting point for cabinetry.
- Larger 1 500 x 3 000 mm and 2 000 x 3 000 mm beds help where oversize sheet handling matters.
- ATC builds make more sense once several cutter changes happen in the same job.
What usually changes the final figure on a written quote
A list price gives you a stable reference point, and a written quote allows the machine to be set up around the work you actually cut. Two shops can start from the same listed router and land on different totals because one needs strong hold-down for melamine board while the other needs a lighter package for occasional plastic and composite work.
The items below are the most common price movers. Some are productivity choices and some are there to stop avoidable frustration on the floor later on, which is often where the real cost shows up.
- Vacuum bed layout and pump size.
- Dust extraction capacity and hose arrangement.
- Collets, starter tooling and spare cutters.
- Spindle upgrade where thicker material or longer shifts are expected.
- Electrical requirements for the site and delivery location.
Add-ons that cabinet makers and shopfitters ask for most
In KwaZulu-Natal, a bare machine price is rarely the whole buying picture. Board processing shops usually need vacuum hold-down and extraction priced at the same time, because sheet stability and dust control affect cut quality from the first day. Shopfitters also tend to ask for a starter tooling set that covers grooving, profiling and clean laminate trimming.
We separate these extras onto their own pages so the router list stays readable. That way you can pull in only what belongs on your quote instead of loading every machine with options you may not need. It keeps the comparison clean and easier to explain to a finance house.
- Vacuum beds and pumps are listed on the vacuum pricing page.
- Router bits and cutter packs are listed on the tooling page.
- Dust units are shown separately for small rooms and heavier board dust loads.
- General router extras appear on the add-ons page where they can be priced line by line.
Turning a list price into a bank-ready quote
When you want a written quotation, send the machine row that matches your starting point and then note the changes you need. A useful brief includes the materials you cut, the biggest sheet size, whether you want manual or automatic tool changes, and which add-ons must sit on the same document. That avoids a quote built around the wrong production pattern.
SalesPrice Quote Desk writes quotations from Pinetown for workshops across the province and the rest of South Africa. If finance is part of the plan, ask for the machine and extras to be shown clearly on one document so the numbers can be assessed properly by the lender, not guessed from a rough total.
You can send those details through our contact form or use the quote builder page if you already know the machine family and the add-ons you need. A published list price is the starting line. The written quote is the version you can actually work from.
Router list prices and related equipment
Router list prices are shown ex VAT. Accessories, extraction units, tooling packs and finance estimates are priced separately because they vary by workshop and by the job mix the machine must carry. We also avoid short-term sale wording and ex-demo pricing here, so the list stays consistent.
Laser, plotter and printer price lists sit on their own pages instead of being mixed into the router table. That separation sounds small but it helps a lot when several departments in one business are pricing equipment at the same time.

Questions we get asked
Are these router prices fixed or promotional?
These are permanent published list prices ex VAT for standard configurations we quote regularly. They are not clearance prices, ex-demo deals or short-run promotions.
Does the listed price include vacuum pumps and dust extraction?
The listed price includes only what appears in the specification line. Vacuum-ready refers to the table arrangement rather than the full vacuum and extraction package. Pumps, extraction and tooling are usually added separately on a written quote.
How do I ask for a quote based on one of these rows?
Pick the closest machine row, then send the work area, spindle level and any add-ons you need through our contact form. If finance is part of the purchase, say that up front so the machine and extras can be shown clearly on the quotation.
