How much does the Biesse Rover A FT cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc router in this class — not a quote from Biesse Group. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Biesse Rover A FT is a CNC router with a listed working area of 4,900 × 1,620 × 250 mm, a 12 kW spindle and 24,000 RPM. It is not in Biesse's current lineup in this form, so the listed figures are a starting point to be confirmed on any machine offered.
Length is the figure to plan around. 4,900 mm of X against 1,620 mm of Y is roughly a three-to-one bed, long enough for stair parts and worktops or for two shorter jobs set end to end. The feed row separates rapid from cutting: up to 80,000 mm/min in rapid and 25,000 mm/min in the cut. On a bed this long the rapid figure governs how much time goes on travel between one end and the other.
The table type is listed as a pod and rail vacuum system, and positioning accuracy as ±0.1 mm, which is a woodworking tolerance and not a metalworking one. At 12 kW the spindle sits below the 14.5 kW (19.4 HP) listed for the Rover B 7.23, with the same 24,000 RPM top speed. Weight is approx. 4,200 kg, about a third of the 12,000 kg (26,455 lb) approximate listed for the Rover B 7.23. The control row lists BiesseWorks together with a third-party NC.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 4,900 mm of X in the listed working area takes long parts or two shorter setups end to end
- 12 kW spindle reaching 24,000 RPM
- Rapid feed listed at up to 80,000 mm/min, with 25,000 mm/min in the cut
- 250 mm of Z in the listed working area
Limitations
- Positioning accuracy is listed at ±0.1 mm
- No tool changer capacity or axis count appears in the listed figures, so both must be checked on the machine
- Y is 1,620 mm, so the bed is long but not wide

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed working area is 4,900 × 1,620 × 250 mm. Parts are held on a pod and rail vacuum system, so some of the 250 mm of Z is taken up by the pods under the workpiece.
02
The feed row lists up to 80,000 mm/min in rapid and 25,000 mm/min when cutting. The spindle is listed at 12 kW and 24,000 RPM, and positioning accuracy at ±0.1 mm.
03
The Rover A FT is the smaller machine by weight and power: approx. 4,200 kg and 12 kW, against 12,000 kg (26,455 lb) approximate and 14.5 kW (19.4 HP) listed for the Rover B 7.23. Both are listed at 24,000 RPM.
