Professional CNC control in a compact, fully enclosed format.
The SCM Startech CN K is a compact CNC machining centre for workshops,
signmakers, training environments, design teams, and custom manufacturers
that need professional routing and engraving without a full-size nesting platform.
Its 1170 × 760 mm worktable, three interpolating axes, 24,000 rpm
electrospindle, and 160 mm Z-axis workpiece clearance support detailed
milling, decorative panels, plaques, templates, prototypes, and small components.
A fully enclosed cabin with internal LED lighting supports operator protection
and chip containment, while the open virtual HMI accepts compatible G-code
generated by CAD/CAM software. An optional fourth axis adds lathe-style processing.

Capability Matrix
One compact CNC platform. Five creative and production roles.
The CN K combines controlled three-axis machining with an enclosed work area and an open programming workflow.
Supports concept models, test pieces, educational projects, design validation, and short-run development work.
Mode 05
Rotary Processing
The optional fourth interpolating axis adds lathe-style machining for cylindrical and creative workpieces.
Production Advantages
Built for controlled access, programming flexibility, and compact installation.
The machine packages professional CNC functions into a contained system suited to smaller workpieces and focused applications.
Fully Enclosed Cabin
The front-access enclosure supports operator protection and helps contain dust and chips during machining.
Open G-Code Workflow
The virtual HMI can import compatible G-code generated through CAD/CAM software for flexible programming.
Compact Professional Platform
Professional SCM machining capability is packaged for small-format work without the footprint of a full nesting centre.

Production Environments
Where the Startech CN K Fits
A focused CNC platform for organizations that need accurate digital machining in a compact and controlled work area.
Small Shops and Custom Work
Brings detailed routing, templates, plaques, decorative components, and repeatable small-format work into the shop.
Schools and Training Labs
Supports CNC instruction, CAD/CAM training, prototype development, and supervised machining in an enclosed cabin.
Signmaking and Prototyping
Produces lettering, displays, plaques, branding elements, concept parts, design models, and development components.
Compact CNC · Controlled Workspace
A professional CNC station that fits naturally into focused production environments.
The Startech CN K packages accurate three-axis machining, high spindle speed,
and open programming into a clean enclosed platform with straightforward access.
It gives operators a dedicated place for milling, engraving, signage, prototypes,
and small components while keeping the machining area visually controlled and contained.
For shops, schools, and design teams building CNC capability, the CN K creates
a practical bridge between manual methods and larger production machining centres.
