Maintenance Tips

Sharp blades cut cleaner and more accurately. They cut quietly and are safer to use. With less afterwork, less dust, and fewer noise hazards, everything suddenly becomes easier, more enjoyable and profitable. Why?

CNC Machining with
Aggregate Heads

Aggregate heads are special tool holders that can be connected to the main spindle of the router, just like a regular tool.

However, they enable you to tackle various machining tasks from different angles and simultaneously add new functionalities.

Our expert team can help you choose the best aggregate for your needs, whether you're sawing, drilling, routing, boring, milling, mortising, flat or contour sanding, polishing, cutting, moulding or machining flat panel or contoured material.
