CNC router tables come in a variety of sizes and configurations, but all share some common features. Most CNC router tables have a work table that is supported by one or more axes that allow the table to move the material in a variety of directions. The most common axes are the X, Y, and Z axes, but some machines also have additional axes such as A (rotation), B (tilt), and C (spin). 

The cutting tool on a CNC router table is mounted on a spindle that is connected to a motor. The motor spins the cutting tool at high speeds (usually 10,000 to 30,000 rpm) and moves it in various directions to cut the material. The speed and movement of the cutting tool is controlled by a computer program that tells the machine what to do. 

CNC router tables can be used to cut many different types of materials, including wood, plastic, aluminum, and even stone. They are often used in woodworking because they can create very intricate designs and patterns that would be difficult or impossible to create with traditional hand tools.
