CNC Router with Automated Feeds and Speeds

April 20, 2023
Having automated feeding and operating rates built into the router lowers the risk of human error, completes cutting more efficiently, and reduces the amount of material waste.

YETI TOOL launched SmartBench PrecisionPro+, describing it “the world's first CNC router with automated feeds and cutting speeds”. Having recently unveiled its SmartBench Mini, a smaller version of Yeti Tool’s portable, large-format CNC router, the British manufacturing firm now offers “the first ever machine of its kind onto the global market.

"We are so proud of the team in making this a reality," said Ed Sells, technical director. "We aren't a big company, but we have the skills in-house to produce a ‘world first’ for the CNC sector."

Many Smartbench users will be new to CNC machining, and in the past, some users have learnt about manual feeds and speeds on their routers through trial and error. The PrecisionPro+ was developed to address that issue. By having automated feeds and speeds built into the router, this reduces the risk of human error from CNC projects, completes cutting more efficiently, and reduces the amount of material wasted on projects.

"The PrecisionPro+ listens to the spindle throughout the whole cut and is self-monitoring, so CNC projects are quickly and fully optimised as a result," Sells explained.

"The router changes its own feed rates during cutting, which means that new and experienced CNC users alike can complete projects more confidently and productively in future."

Customers who have purchased a SmartBench V1.3 can add-on this new hardware to their existing machine. It is also available for SmartBench Mini routers.
