CNC Router for Doors
In the competitive world of woodworking and manufacturing, precision and efficiency are paramount. A CNC router for doors is no longer a luxury—it’s the essential core of any modern door production workshop. These powerful machines automate complex cutting, carving, and shaping tasks, enabling you to produce everything from simple cabinet doors to ornate entryways with flawless accuracy and speed that manual methods cannot match.
At Xpro CNC, we specialize in providing robust CNC solutions that empower door manufacturers to reduce labor costs, minimize material waste, and scale their production without compromising on quality.
Why a Dedicated CNC Router for Doors is a Game-Changer
Investing in the right wood door CNC machine provides an immediate and significant return. Our clients consistently report transformative results in four key areas:
- Unmatched Consistency: Eliminate human error and ensure every door, hinge pocket, and joint is perfectly identical, meeting exact specifications every single time.
- Incredible Speed: What takes a skilled craftsman hours to complete, a CNC router can finish in minutes. Drastically cut your lead times and increase your workshop’s output.
- Design Freedom: Effortlessly produce complex designs, intricate carvings, and custom shapes that are difficult or impossible to create by hand. Offer your clients truly unique and high-value products.
- Optimized Material Usage: Our integrated nesting software automatically arranges parts to maximize yield from every sheet of wood or MDF, significantly reducing costly material waste.
Key Applications: More Than Just a Cutting Machine
An Xpro CNC router is a complete door manufacturing CNC router solution, capable of handling every step of the process.
1. Cabinet Door Production
This is one of the most popular uses for our machines. Easily manufacture all common styles:
- Shaker Style Doors: Program perfect rails and stiles for a classic look.
- Raised Panel Doors: Use specialized bits with our high-power spindles to create beautiful, traditional raised panels.
- Slab Doors: Cut perfectly sized and finished slab doors from any material.
2. Entry Door Carving & Engraving
Offer high-margin custom-carved entry doors. Our rigid machine frames and precision ball-screw drives ensure deep, clean carvings without any vibration or loss of detail.
3. Hinge Mortising & Lock Pocket Machining
Switch from manual jigs to automated perfection. Our CNC door lock machines can accurately and quickly machine out hinge mortises, lockset pockets, and strike plate recesses, ensuring perfect alignment and fit every time.
Essential Features of a High-Performance Door CNC Machine
Not all CNC routers are created equal. For demanding door production, these features are non-negotiable:
- Automatic Tool Changer (ATC): This is the single most important feature for efficiency. An ATC allows the machine to automatically switch between different cutting bits (e.g., from a roughing bit to a carving bit to a drill) without operator intervention.
- Powerful, High-Frequency Spindle: A robust spindle (typically 9kW or higher) is necessary to handle large-diameter bits for panel raising and to maintain speed and cut quality in dense hardwoods.
- Vacuum Table with Zoned Grid: A powerful vacuum table holds door panels securely in place without clamps, preventing movement and ensuring accuracy. Zoned systems allow you to hold smaller parts effectively.
- Robust, Stress-Relieved Steel Frame: A heavy, rigid frame is essential for vibration-free cutting, which is critical for achieving the smooth finish required for doors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can a CNC router make a complete raised panel door?
Yes. With an Automatic Tool Changer and the correct set of router bits (panel raiser, stile and rail bits), a CNC router can machine all the components of a raised panel door for perfect assembly.
What is the best CNC machine for a small woodworking shop making cabinet doors?
For a smaller shop, a 3-axis CNC router with an ATC, like our Orion Series, is a perfect starting point. It provides the automation needed for cabinet doors without the footprint or cost of a larger 5-axis machine.
How long does it take to cut a cabinet door on a CNC?
The time varies with complexity, but a standard shaker-style cabinet door can often be machined in just a few minutes, a fraction of the time it would take manually.
What software is needed to design and run the CNC router for doors?
You will need a CAD/CAM software package. CAD (Computer-Aided Design) is used to draw the door, and CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) is used to create the toolpaths (the cutting instructions) for the machine. We offer and support industry-leading software like VCarve and Aspire.
How much does a CNC router for doors cost?
The price depends heavily on the size, features, and power (spindle, motors, etc.). A quality, industrial machine suitable for professional door making is a significant investment. Contact our team for a custom quote based on your production needs. cnc routers
