A large benchtop CNC router has more than 900 sq in of work area, up to a 4 by 4 ft bed, for full panels, big signs, tabletops and nested cabinet parts. These machines need a dedicated table or stand and a dust collector, and many are sold without a router, so budget for a trim router or spindle on top of the price shown.
