Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Dynaplan is superfluous if you are using eCabs, all you do is create a drawer which only has a back back and a bottom (I used a blind dado joint for the back into the bottom) you specify the correct left and right insets for the back upstand in the drawer construction parameters. the hole pattern ...

Hi Josh, before I closed up shop I was using eCabs with both Metabox and Tandembox for machining on my Thermwood (Intivo is pretty much the same as Tandembox), it is pretty simple to do, what do you find a problem?

Mark you can place doors with the required inset to simulate sliding doors using the door/drawer editor and they will automatically re-size. The only complication is the different placements to get one behind the other especially as you have a pair of doors in one opening. The solution to this would ...

Tim put a light in at a lower level

Brian, I assume you are trying to cut a miter on each end of the kick plate? If so then all you need do is apply an appropriate tool to those ends in a profiling operation

Gary it is not just a matter of the number of lights it is also where you place them, the intensity settings and the type of light you select. Try for starters turning down the intensity of all the lights you have to get rid of that washed out look. What I sometimes do is put some lights underneath ...

John I have done this kind of thing before but I am afraid it is a job for the part editor

Do you mean possible as a future feature or can you do it now? You could do it now but you would have to create the wall yourself out of face frame cabs with everything switched off except the frames and the doors

Ben something you may consider trying which I did is buying and fixing 4 small pneumatic pistons onto the edge of the table in the correct locations to serve as pop up pins.

No

Steve I mean what is the opening size provided in the cabinet for the printer? As I said I sourced my own printer and built my own cab and had no trouble with my small HP laser printer for over 5 years now.

Or if I knew what the font was i can regenerate the letters with my CAD program which should give a better result

I have been using the same HP laser printer built into a cabinet at the controller for 5 years without any problem. What is the size of the aperture for the printer you have?

Hi Brian. Here is the DXF. I looked at the letters close up and I can see why they are machining rough. All the curves are made up of small segmens instead of arcs, this would not be so bad if they flowed into each other but in this case they zig zag along. In a nutshell the letters need to be ...

Brian try this on a piece of scrap board and see how it goes. There will be errors but I just want to see if it machines at all. Also what depth do you want to cut at? I have set it at 10mm and used a 16mm display panel. Sorry about all the time delay and the metric I am in South Africa
