What is a 4-axis CNC router?
The 4-axis router has all the same axes as a 3-axis router plus the additional A-axis. The A-axis can rotate the spindle around X-axis up to 180 degrees (± 90 degrees), or the A-axis can be a lathe / rotary which can rotate 360 degrees. The 4th axis allows cuts to be executed on multiple sides of the workpiece without resetting, while a 3-axis router can only perform cuts to one side of the same piece at a time.
