Tooling
CNC Rainbow covers precision CNC machining, cutting, and engraving plus rainbow-coated tooling for South African shops. Purple-forward, practical, and ready for a first article photo.
Rainbow Endmill
Rainbow Endmill suits clean edge work in plywood, MDF, plastics, and light aluminium jobs where chip evacuation matters. The rainbow-coated finish helps with heat on longer passes, especially when spindle load creeps up in dense sheet. Before a production run, check stick-out, collet grip, and runout so the first article matches the toolpath.
Router Bit Set
Router Bit Set covers common shop cuts, from trimming laminated board to grooving, profiling, and pocketing. Mixed diameters and profiles make it easier to set up cabinet parts, sign blanks, and repeat jigs without hunting for single replacements. Keep feed and speed notes with each bit so the next operator starts from a tested setting.
Engraving Bit
Engraving Bit is aimed at fine text, shallow V-carving, and crisp line work on acrylic, coated aluminium, brass, and timber panels. Tip angle and depth control make a visible difference, so zeroing must be consistent across the bed. On small lettering, reduce step-over and watch chip build-up around the point.
Nesting Tool
Nesting Tool is set up for sheet optimisation where hold-down, chip clearance, and edge finish all affect yield. Compression and downcut options help keep melamine faces cleaner while parts stay put during the final tabs. For board runs in MDF or particle board, inspect wear early because dust-heavy material can blunt an edge fast.
Fixture Kit
Fixture Kit supports repeat clamping for plates, blocks, jigs, and short production batches. Stops, clamps, and mounting pieces help keep datum positions consistent when parts come off and go back on the machine. Check clearance to the cutter path before every cycle, especially on deep pockets and contour work.
Coolant Line
Coolant Line helps direct fluid or air exactly where the cutter needs it during aluminium machining, drilling, and longer tool engagements. A stable stream reduces recutting and gives a clearer view of the cut zone when chips start packing. After setup, confirm nozzle position at full travel so nothing shifts near the spindle or gantry.
Collet Pack
Collet Pack covers the sizes that tend to stay in rotation on routers and spindle-driven CNC setups. Good collet condition matters for grip, tool life, and surface finish, especially on small diameter cutters and engraving tools. Clean the taper and inspect for dust, resin, or nicks before tightening to the required torque.
Dust Boot
Dust Boot improves extraction around timber, MDF, and composite cutting where airborne dust can hide the kerf and contaminate bearings. Brush length, hose routing, and shoe clearance all affect how well chips leave the cut. On thicker stock, make sure the boot still seals properly at lower Z positions.
Probe Kit
Probe Kit speeds up setting work offsets, tool lengths, and stock edges when repeatability matters more than guesswork. It is useful on plate work, fixture swaps, and jobs where the machine must return to a known datum after a tool change. Keep the contact surfaces clean and verify probe thickness values in the control.
Starter Cell
Starter Cell groups the basics for a new CNC setup that needs to begin cutting without piecing together every accessory one by one. Typical use includes first sheets of MDF, acrylic test parts, simple fixturing, and essential measuring checks before heavier production starts. It helps teams standardise the bench stock that usually goes missing during early setup.
Plate Cell
Plate Cell is arranged for flat stock machining where repeat edge location and secure clamping affect every feature on the part. Aluminium, phenolic, and plastic plates often need probing, low-profile workholding, and cutters matched to shallow step-downs. Confirm plate flatness and spoilboard condition before chasing dimensional issues in the programme.
Sign Cell
Sign Cell focuses on the tooling and setup items that support panel cutting, face profiling, pocketed letters, and engraved details. Acrylic, ACM, PVC, and timber all behave differently, so cutter choice and chip control need to follow the sheet material on the table. For painted or laminated faces, inspect edge quality under good light before packing the job.
Coastal Pack
Coastal Pack is built for humid air, salt exposure, and storage conditions that affect cutters and coated tooling.
Highveld Pack
Highveld Pack is shaped around dry dust, longer board runs, and wear patterns common on inland CNC floors.
Night Shift
Night Shift focuses on unattended cutting, spare tool readiness, and clean handover for the morning team.
Export Week
Export Week is set up for packed orders, OR Tambo timing, and paperwork that must match the shipment.
Training Day
Training Day centres on safe machine use, correct feeds and speeds, and cleaner results from the first run.
Spares Bridge
Spares Bridge keeps replacement cutters and coated bits moving when a machine job needs an uncommon size or profile.
