We’re introducing the “NCN8300,” a compact, high-precision gantry-type model that excels at managing cutting dust. If you're exploring Japanese-made CNC routers and want to understand what sets them apart, this overview is for you.
The NCN8300 is a compact yet high-precision CNC router developed by SHODA, a specialist in CNC machinery. Its gantry structure allows for high machining accuracy despite its space-saving design. It supports a wide range of materials, including furniture components, resin, and light metals. From small-lot production to environments requiring ultra-precise processing, the NCN8300 meets diverse manufacturing needs.
Designed specifically for resin (plastic) machining, the NCN8300 is ideal for tasks such as nameplate engraving, industrial resin parts, and components used in semiconductor manufacturing.
Its gantry-style frame offers extra depth while maintaining a compact footprint, making it easy to install in factories with limited floor space. It combines productivity with layout flexibility.
The NCN8300 comes equipped with a hybrid vacuum and T-slot table. Flat and relatively thin materials, such as boards, are held in place using vacuum suction.
For parts with shapes or sizes unsuitable for suction, the T-slot system allows for mechanical clamping using bolts and clamps inserted into T-shaped grooves.
This versatility lets users choose the most appropriate holding method based on the material and workpiece shape—from thin sheets to complex geometries.
SHODA is a manufacturer dedicated exclusively to CNC routers, with the ambition of becoming the world’s leading company in this field.
Founded in 1926, SHODA developed its first CNC router in 1968 under the leadership of second-generation president Isao Shoda. The company has now been manufacturing CNC routers for over 57 years.
SHODA has dedicated departments for R&D and quality assurance, ensuring the infrastructure needed to support precision machining. It has a global footprint across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, and has delivered over 8,000 CNC routers as of November 2023.
The NCN8300 is priced around ¥20,000,000 (tax not included).
Pricing may vary depending on specifications and options, so we recommend contacting SHODA directly for an accurate quote.
SHODA also offers a “Fully Inclusive Lease” plan, which allows businesses to adopt the NCN8300 with reduced initial investment.
The NCN8300 is a compact yet high-precision model, specialized for resin (plastic) processing.
It is well-suited for manufacturers of precision equipment and electronic components that use non-conductive resin parts.
It also performs exceptionally well for companies producing medical devices that rely on lightweight, rust-resistant engineering plastics, as well as signage and display makers that work with transparent resin materials.

SHODA has been in business since 1926 and was the first company in Japan to develop an NC router. With a long history of precision machining, the company’s CNC routers are used to process a variety of materials—such as plastics, resins, and lightweight metals—with proven accuracy and reliability.
In 2014, SHODA developed a new type of NC router that doesn’t produce cutting dust. In many manufacturing environments, dust from machining can pose serious health risks if inhaled over long periods. SHODA’s solution to this issue has gained attention worldwide and is now used across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
