CNC Routers for Schools and CTE Programs

Bring Real CNC Skills to Your Classroom

Shop classes and CTE programs need equipment that works every day, not just on a good day. Digital Wood Carver machines ship fully assembled and tested, so class time goes to teaching, not troubleshooting.

Why Digital Wood Carver

Class time should go to teaching, not repairs

A cheap machine that spends more time broken than cutting costs you lessons. Students lose interest, and the project schedule slips.

Every Digital Wood Carver machine is built and tested before it ships. It comes with a free 2-hour onboarding session and free weekly group training classes, so more than one teacher can learn to run it. Phone support is open six days a week.

How It Works

From lesson plan to finished project

03

Cut

Start the job and watch the machine carve it.

What Students Can Make

Projects students want to finish

CNC work ties design, math, and hands-on shop skills together. Students can carve signs, plaques, 3D reliefs, and inlay work on the same machine.

This is for you if

You run a shop class, CTE, or STEM program and want students on equipment that works day after day.

It may not be the right fit if

You need a machine that cuts full 4x8 sheets. Our commercial DWC5100 may suit you better. See all CNC routers.
