How CNC Router Hub started in Silverton
From our base in Silverton, Pretoria, we focus on making CNC routing easier for smaller workshops, hobby makers and growing businesses that need reliable results without unnecessary complexity. We saw a real gap in the market for practical support around compact CNC router tables, especially for people working with wood, MDF and plastics who wanted more than just a machine drop-off.
From the beginning, the focus has been on helping users get useful output from day one. That means clear advice on machine selection, honest guidance on what a table can and cannot do, and support that continues after the sale. We know many customers are balancing production, power cuts, shared workshop space and tight budgets, so our approach is direct and workable.
Our Silverton base keeps us close to Pretoria East, Centurion, Midrand and Kempton Park, while our spares and training support reaches customers nationwide. Whether someone is setting up in a garage workshop in Bronkhorstspruit or running a small cabinet shop in Vereeniging, they need the same thing: practical help, parts that fit, and a team that answers the phone.
What we supply and support
We focus on CNC router tables designed for smaller workshops and personal use, with a strong emphasis on woodworking, MDF and plastics. These machines are useful for signmaking, cabinet components, pattern work, prototyping, educational use and general cutting jobs where accuracy matters. Many customers want a setup that can handle detail work without taking up too much floor space or demanding industrial-level power.
Along with the machines, we keep the essential items close at hand so downtime is reduced. That includes spares, service parts, and guidance on routine upkeep. In South Africa, where load-shedding can interrupt a cutting job at the worst time, having the right spare components and a sensible maintenance plan makes a big difference. Coastal humidity, dust and inconsistent workshop conditions also mean a machine must be cared for properly if it is going to keep working well.
We also help customers understand what to expect from a CNC router table in real workshop use. That covers basic cutting limits, tooling choices, control setup, software basics and spares planning. If a workshop is in a municipal area with strict noise or operating-hour rules, we can also talk through how that affects workflow and machine placement.

How we work with customers
Our work style is hands-on and practical. We do not believe in sending a customer away with a machine and hoping for the best. A proper setup starts with understanding the workshop, the material being used and the level of experience at the machine. A hobby user in Silverton may need a simpler introduction than a production assistant in Centurion, and we adjust our support accordingly.
Training is part of the process, not an extra afterthought. We cover operator training, software basics and refresher training for users who already know the machine but need to improve speed or accuracy. Nhlanhla Majola leads technical training with a strong focus on usable steps, not theory that sits in a file. People remember better when the training matches the actual job on the shop floor.
When a customer calls for help, we look at the cause first, then the quickest reliable fix. Sometimes that is a remote support session. Sometimes a service technician needs to visit the site for control tuning, spindle replacement or a preventive maintenance check. We keep the communication plain and useful, and we try to prevent repeat faults rather than just clearing the immediate problem.

- Remote support when a quick check will do
- Preventive maintenance to reduce stoppages
- Breakdown support for urgent faults
- Refresher training for changing workshop needs
The people behind the service
CNC Router Hub is run by a team that understands both the workshop and the customer side of the job. Mpho Johannes Maseko, our Managing Director, leads the business with a practical approach to service, training and workshop support. The aim has always been to keep the operation lean, while still giving customers the attention they need.
Retha Kleynhans handles sales and helps customers choose the right machine or spares based on real use, not guesswork. Lindelwa Sigcau coordinates spares so parts are tracked properly and orders move efficiently. Wessel Rabie handles service work, including breakdown support and spindle replacement, while Palesa Maluleke leads customer support and keeps communication clear when customers need updates or follow-up help.
That mix matters because CNC support is not just one job. A customer may need help with tooling, guidance on software and a service visit for the machine itself. Having one team that can move between sales, support, training and maintenance keeps things more organised and avoids the delays that frustrate workshop owners.
Compact CNC Tables For Limited Space
Many of our customers are working in limited space and need equipment that earns its place. A compact CNC router table can open up new work, but only if it is matched to the user’s needs and backed by real support. That is where we add value. We help people choose a setup they can actually run, maintain and afford to keep in operation.
We also understand that smaller businesses need predictable service. If a machine goes down, jobs stop. If a part is not available, deadlines slip. If training is unclear, staff make avoidable errors. Our approach is to keep things practical and to plan ahead wherever possible so customers are not caught out by common workshop problems.
Across Pretoria East, Midrand, Kempton Park and Centurion, we work with users who need a sensible balance between capability and cost. In some cases the answer is a starter machine with room to grow. In others it is a better spares plan, a maintenance visit or a control adjustment that gets an existing machine back into usable condition. We aim to give advice that fits the job, not a sales script.
Support across Pretoria and nationwide
Our base in Silverton gives us a solid local footing in Pretoria, but our support does not stop at the city boundary. We assist customers across Gauteng and can help with spares and remote support nationwide. That is useful for workshops in places like Rustenburg, Polokwane, Nelspruit or Port Elizabeth where getting parts quickly can save days of downtime.
Nationwide support works best when planning is done early. That is why we place so much emphasis on spares planning and preventive maintenance. If a customer knows which parts wear first and how often a machine should be checked, it becomes much easier to keep production moving. It also helps with budgeting, which matters when every Rand has to count.
We are also mindful of local operating conditions. In some areas dust control is a constant issue. In others, moisture and temperature changes affect machine behaviour. In business parks, electrical supply can be uneven. These are ordinary South African workshop conditions, not exceptions, and our advice takes them into account.
