Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Clint, Good to know, I guess I've been well enough off to never have to do anything but resize that window in CN. It seems strange to me that a pasted part wouldn't index to a corner of the work or a corner of the machine. Or even the center. I often don't realize the paste action has completed unti...

If I load a nest of parts, and nest on some off-fall, often the last part or two will land on its own sheet because of a strange nest. No problem, i can manually cut that piece from the final sheet and nest it manually on one of the previous sheets. Problem is when I paste it, it often ends up off t...

Lurker here, Curious to know if this was diagnosed. It looks to me like the flutter from insufficient fixturing or the geometry of the curve being broken into line segments (polyline, spline, curve). None of my business, but curious to see what the remedy was. Thanks.

Maybe it's a protocol problem, I was profiling first, then pocketing. It couldn't make a pocket that touched the profile. I'll try to see if this works tomorrow, Thanks.

I'm struggling with an MDF door that is supposed to look like a five piece. I want the interior edge of the frame bits to have a profile, and the panel to be flat. I can't seem to create a tool that makes the panel flat and recessed across the whole field of the panel, and I cant seem to fudge it by...

That's the brilliant answer I was looking for. I should have know this intuitively; I often manually change the wasteboard thickness in tune with changes in the weather so as to keep from rutting up the spoilboard too deeply. Thanks to everyone!!

I've been asked by our CabinetVision integrator if I know how to "air-cut". I have never done this before on our thermwood, and don't really know if there is a quick and dirty setting somewhere in control nesting to do so. My first instinct is to just change the Z offset for the program, t...

Rob, for some reason your cabinet has two left ends???? I think that's your issue. When I grab the one and delete it, another one is revealed. How on earth do you even GET two left ends? :shock: Also, If we can have two left ends, then that might solve some cabinet conundrums I've had trouble desig...

Not trying to be obtuse, but there are two general types of Plexi, cast and extruded I think. They both machine a bit different, but if your edge finish isn't critical, then it won't likely matter for you. I use these settings for a 3/8" O flute mirror finish Onsrud bit (62-733). 100IPM feed, 1...

More than one way to skin a cat, but here is one way I know of: Create a display panel of appropriate material and overall size. Take panel to the part editor and click on the contour button in the toolbar. Load your dxf file into the contour editor. Use the dxf vectors to define operations on your ...

Just wondering if anyone else had had an issue with their pump dragging on startup. I have the Busch pump that was sold with our machine and it will drag until it pops the breaker on the first startup of the day. If I turn the vacuum switch on the CNC table ON, THEN start the pump (so it is pulling ...

I've had the same curiosity. Should we DL the latest service pack for WIN7 while it is still available? OR do we just figure "if its' not broke, then don't fix it?"

Our machine is NOT networked so it is stock as far as the qControl is concerned. Any need to update any drivers as well?

Thanks, Brad! I don't know how I missed that page, but It was instantly familiar once I saw it-I had to do this before the last time I changed my setup.

It's because the green panels are "off-fall" and are figured at 100% yield, since you can cut them for another project. The only "waste" on that sheet is the kerf!

Well, that's a lot simpler than I thought it would be.
