Yeti SmartBench – what are the benefits compared with a conventional CNC machine?

Yeti SmartBench – what are the benefits compared with a conventional CNC machine?

What benefits does the Yeti SmartBench CNC bring to woodworking projects?

The world's first portable full-sheet CNC router, the SmartBench, has opened up many new business opportunities for companies in the wood trade. This easy-to-use, handy and cost-effective CNC router is a sensible machine for small and medium-sized woodworking businesses too.

In the past, joinery firms postponed buying a CNC router or left it altogether, because of cost, awkward operation and the space it demanded. CNC work therefore had to be outsourced, or it could not be taken on at all.

An easy-to-use and accurate CNC router

CNC routers for woodworking used to be difficult and complicated to operate, and only trained people could run them. CNC work was consequently fairly rare in the wood trade. With Yeti Tool's SmartBench that has changed. Because the SmartBench is easy to use, companies can do the CNC routing themselves, which lets them carry out more varied work for their customers.

With the SmartBench, woodworking shops can machine a wider range of materials and take on far more complex projects than before. And the work can be done comfortably on their own premises.

Small space requirement — large capability

The compact SmartBench can be used in a relatively small space, so no large area of the workshop has to be set aside for it. Space efficiency is improved further by how easily and quickly the machine folds down and moves. When workshop square metres can be used for productive work, the company's cost efficiency improves. Being movable also makes it possible to carry out demanding work directly on site.

These features among others make the SmartBench CNC an ideal tool both for growing companies in the wood trade and for keen enthusiasts.

An investment that pays back quickly and lets the business grow

Because it is easy to use, the SmartBench can be put to work on customer projects immediately after purchase, so the investment starts paying back straight away. Productivity also improves because the cabinetmaker can concentrate on other work while the CNC handles the routing jobs it has been given independently.

With a professional-grade CNC router a company can extend its services both to more complex products and to smooth batch production. Profitability improves, the business can be extended further, and the company can grow.
