Why We Exist

The industry makes you
pick a side. We don’t.

For years, a shop had two choices: pay industrial-legacy prices for a serious machine — or buy a cheap import and hope the support shows up. Front Range is the middle path.

Legacy IndustrialGenuinely serious machines — priced past the small and mid-size shops that need them most.
Cheap ImportsAffordable up front, then thin support, weak training, and a generic config you fight with.
Front Range CNCIndustrial where it counts, priced for shops that actually run them, backed by people who answer.
Where We Came From

Started by someone who
sold these machines
for a living.

Front Range CNC was founded by Andrew Townsend, who spent years in the industrial CNC world — selling production routers to shops just like yours. Then he went past the sales floor: bought a used machine, did his own service work, and cut real jobs.

He learned the operator’s side — tooling, vacuum, feeds and speeds, the errors that stop a shift — not just the spec sheet. Front Range is what came out of that: build and support a CNC router the way an operator, a service tech, and a business owner would actually want it built.

Front Range CNC machine on the shop floor

I started Front Range because I watched good shops get priced out by badges and nickel-and-dimed by add-ons. I knew the machines could be better than that — and so could the people who stand behind them.

A Young Company. People Who Aren’t.

Soul of one.
Strength of many.

Front Range is a few years old. The experience behind it isn’t. Across the crew, that’s 40+ years of combined CNC experience — building, installing, servicing, and running these machines. You get the heart of a founder who knows your machine by name, and the backbone of a company built to be here in twenty years.

Built Different

A young company
that’s already ahead.

The slow part of this industry is the old guard. We’re software-forward by design — and the proof ships with every machine. Every Front Range router comes with CNC Companion: AI support that talks your team through the work, any hour.

24/7 AI SupportTroubleshooting, feeds & speeds, and setup — any hour, no ticket queue.
In Your LanguageMultilingual support built in. Your operators get help the way they actually speak.
Included, Not BilledStandard on every machine. Not a subscription, not an add-on.

It’s live today — and it’s just the start. Front Range is being built by people who know machines, investing in the tools that make yours easier to run.

What’s the Catch?

There isn’t one.
Just less overhead.

When the price looks too good, people assume a catch. The truth is the savings are structural, not a gimmick — and we’d rather show the work than ask you to trust the hype.

No Dealer MarkupYou buy direct. There’s no distributor margin stacked on top.
Lean OverheadNo trade-show theater, no showroom palace, no bloated corporate structure.
Smart SourcingPremium industrial components — HiWin rails, Syntec controls — sourced where value is best, not where the flag costs most.
Everything IncludedSpindle, vacuum, dust, software. The add-ons others bill for are already in the number.

And when there is a trade-off — like the Core’s self-install keeping it at $51,000 — we tell you up front. Honest about what we don’t do is what makes the rest believable.

Our Promise

The machine does the job.
The price is the price.
The people pick up the phone.

That’s the whole company in three lines. Tell us what you’re cutting — we’ll give you a straight answer.
