CNC Routers & Fabrication Machines, Compared on Data
The numbers behind the machine, not the marketing around it.
Specifications transcribed from manufacturer sheets, scores computed from those specs by a published formula, and calculators that show their working. Where a maker does not publish a figure, we say so instead of estimating one.

How to use the Feed & speed calculator
- Set the material, bit type and diameter to match the tool in your spindle.
- Enter your flute count, spindle RPM and cut depth.
- Read the recommended feed rate - that is the speed to program into your CNC controller.
- Keep the chip-load band in range: if it reads high, ease the feed or raise RPM; if it reads low, push a little harder.
Feed & speed calculator
Full method →The single number that decides whether a cut burns, chatters or comes out clean is chip load. Set your material, cutter and spindle speed and read the feed rate straight off.

Independent
Rankings are computed from specifications by a formula we publish in full. No brand can pay for a position, and the affiliate offer attached to a machine is not an input to its score.
Data-driven
Every specification is transcribed from the manufacturer's own published sheet, with the source recorded on each machine page. Marketplace listings and forum posts are research inputs, never sources of record.
Honest numbers
Calculator outputs are estimates derived from published tooling data and labelled as estimates. They are not test results. Where a maker publishes no figure, we show that rather than inventing one.
