Overview
The Biesse Klever is a compact, entry-to-mid-range CNC machining center for wood, panel materials, and plastics, designed for small and medium-sized woodworking shops, kitchen manufacturers, furniture makers, and joinery operations. Built by Biesse Group of Pesaro, Italy — one of the world's foremost manufacturers of machinery for processing wood, glass, stone, and advanced materials — the Klever brings Biesse's quality manufacturing to a price point accessible for growing shops.
The Klever's working area covers standard full-sheet panels (typically 3,050 x 1,530 mm) with a Z-axis clearance of 200 mm, accommodating panel thicknesses and stacked nesting operations. The machine uses a vacuum pod-and-rail workholding system that holds down irregular workpieces without dedicated jigs, enabling flexible production of shaped cabinet parts, drawer fronts, and architectural elements from the same setup.
Equipped with a 9 kW HSD electrospindle running up to 18,000 rpm and a 10-position tool changer, the Klever handles routing, drilling, grooving, and edge profiling in a single program cycle. Biesse's proprietary bSolid CAD/CAM software integrates directly with the machine's numerical control, providing a seamless workflow from design to cutting without third-party post-processors.
The Klever is designed for easy installation and operator training, with an enclosed work area for safety, automatic lubrication, and remote diagnostics via Biesse's IoT-enabled SmartAssist platform. It represents a practical first CNC router investment for shops transitioning from manual operations, as well as a reliable production workhorse for shops processing hundreds of parts per day.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The Klever is optimized for wood, MDF, particleboard, plywood, melamine-coated panels, and rigid plastics such as PVC and acrylic. With appropriate tooling, it can also process aluminum composite panels (ACM) and soft aluminum sheet, though it is not designed for heavy metal cutting.
02
No. The Biesse Klever is designed for standard industrial floor installation without a special foundation, provided the floor is level and sufficiently load-bearing. A compressed air supply for the vacuum pump and standard 3-phase electrical connection are the main utility requirements.
03
bSolid is Biesse's integrated CAD/CAM software that communicates directly with the Klever's bCNC control system. Operators can design parts, define machining operations, and send programs to the machine from a single interface, eliminating the need for a separate third-party CAM post-processor and streamlining the programming workflow.
