Recently, I invested in the CATEK wood lathe, and after using it for a while, I wanted to share my thoughts for those in the industry who might be looking for a similar solution. Air rifle stock production demands high precision, especially when it comes to the inletting and the ergonomics of the buttstock; even a slight deviation can ruin the feel and fit of the rifle. What attracted me to this machine was its "7-in-1" capability. It handles turning, slot milling, drilling, and even engraving all on one unit. For a custom business like mine, this eliminates the hassle of moving pieces between machines or constant re-clamping. It’s not just about saving time—it’s about ensuring top-tier accuracy.

I spent a long time wondering whether to write this, but I know that many of us are looking for equipment "for work," not for standing in a corner. I have been using the CATEK 1325 CNC router for a good six months in my mid-sized shop, where we mainly focus on custom kitchens and closets. The combination of the vacuum table and T-slots turned out to be a bullseye, because it holds large furniture boards well, and for smaller pieces where I don't always want to turn on the pump, I can just throw clamps into the slots, and it stays rigid. I was afraid of the quality of Chinese steel, but the frame is heavy and solid.

Valintavaiheessa puntaroimme eri vaihtoehtoja pitkään. Teemme pääasiassa mittatilauskalusteita, joissa porausten, sivujyrsintöjen ja uritusten määrä on suuri. Aiemmin jouduimme siirtelemään kappaleita koneelta toiselle, mikä söi tehokkuutta. Tämän CNC-jyrsimen erityisen houkuttelevaksi tekevät sen integroitu porausyksikkö ja kulmapää, jotka vähentävät merkittävästi työkappaleen kääntöjä ja uudelleenkiinnityksiä, mikä säästää aikaa.

I wasn't sure if one CNC machine could handle both carving and turning well, but it's worked out better than expected. We cut cabinet panels during the day and machine table legs or columns when needed. It's a practical setup for a shop that doesn't have unlimited floor space.

We upgraded from a standard router because our cabinet orders kept growing. The automatic tool changer alone has made a big difference. We can finish nested cabinet jobs much faster now, and the machine stays accurate even after running all day. The build quality is better than I expected.

I compared several European and Chinese suppliers before buying. Chinese CNC router machines are relatively inexpensive.This was our first 5-axis machine, so we had a lot of questions before ordering. The technical team helped us choose the right configuration and guided us through the setup remotely. It took some practice to learn 5-axis programming, but the machine itself has been reliable from the start.

The drilling unit is much faster than I expected. Cabinet panels come off the machine ready for assembly with very little extra work. We were mainly looking to increase output without adding more operators, and this machine has helped us do that.

We're not a huge factory, but we do a lot of custom furniture. The swing head gives us more flexibility for special designs without buying another machine. It took a little time for our operators to get used to the programming, but after that the workflow became much faster. Overall, it's been a good investment for our workshop.

Not a huge factory here—just four people in our workshop.We compared a few Chinese CNC routers before ordering this one. For the price, I think it's a good deal. The frame feels solid, and it's been reliable for daily work. Nothing fancy, just a machine that gets the job done without giving us headaches.

Running the shop, I used to spend half my life stopping the machine just to swap tools. It was a complete headache—constant downtime, re-calibrating, and just wasting time that should have been spent actually building furniture. I was on the fence about upgrading until I had a proper chat with Pihris about the Spire series.

She wasn’t kidding—this machine is on another level. The build quality is solid as a rock; you can feel the rigidity as soon as it starts cutting.

Getting this fiber laser sheet cutter was a game changer for our production line here in Argentina. Before, we were stuck using older methods that were slow, imprecise, and honestly, just frustrating to deal with. This metal laser cutting machine has completely turned things around. It handles the heavy-duty stuff without breaking a sweat, and the precision is spot on—no more wasting expensive material on scrap metal.

Working in a workshop here in Georgia, we get all sorts of custom requests, and until I got this linear ATC CNC router, I was constantly manually changing tools and resetting the machine. It was a massive time-sink. Now that I’ve got the drilling bank and rotary axis all built in, I can actually run a job from start to finish without having to stop and mess with the setup every ten minutes. It’s a solid multifunctional CNC machine that’s handled our busy season without giving us any major grief. Honestly, having this ATC wood router in the shed has been a huge load off my mind.
