Important note

While the Compact 1000 / 1000 Pro accommodates a wide range of fixtures, only one can be used at a time. For workflows requiring multiple fixtures or offsets for consecutive projects, we recommend the Router 2600 / 2600 Pro, which supports simultaneous use of multiple fixtures. For applications involving tougher materials, such as steel, we recommend the VMC 1300 Pro CNC Mill for optimal performance.
