Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

John, In response to your questions... "Do your drill bits have a flat on the shank?" Yes, our drill bits have a flat on the shank. These are standard drill bits that will run at about 6000 RPM. At this low spindle speed, tool balance is not an issue. "How do these fit in a router col...

Right Hand 5mm drill with 10mm shank ( about $14-15 ea ) http://store.cncautomation.com/contents/media/l_...

Marvin, Make sure your graphics card drivers are up to date. If you just reload the defaults from the Windows XP CD and/or the video card CD that came with the computer, the may be very outdated when it comes to the 3D graphics manipulation.

Doug, Would a better solution be to be able to "see" the FACE of a single sided material within eCab and then also be able to toggle that FACE to the side needed? This way the information goes out to the machine in a TWD and the operator would not have to get involved flipping this part an...

Here is a quick example... The HSF and the ESA.

Mohan, I am trying to picture what you want.... Seems that all you have to do is design the cabinet looking at the front (HOME view) as if you were looking down at it from the top. In this "view" the TOP would become your BACK, the DECK your FRONT,.. etc. You could add USER NAMES to the pa...

Mohan,

You may want to refer to this thread - Printing Labels

If you only need barcodes for FLIP PARTS and OFF FALLS/CUTS then see the label report that I uploaded in this post - Re: Printing Labels - Off-Falls Only Updated

James, In order to just display the contents to the screen on the controller, you can use the TYPE command. The syntax would be: C:\TWOOD>TYPE macro21.thm This will "type" the contents of this MACRO21.THM (an ASCII text file) to the screen. ( I don't recommend that you use this on binary f...

Back in August of 2006( Drawer base spreaders ), I made the following suggestion: #3. Create a \"DRAWER STRETCHER\" and \"PARTITION STRETCHER\". These would be added to the Shelf/Partition Editor as additional Shelf and Partitiion options. The Drawer Stretcher would be based inte...
