Just putting in my two cents (err nickel - Canadian cents are no more!)... We have a client that uses top hinged doors in certain upper cabinets. Apart from the given upper hinges and the machining required, there system also has mounting holes (pattern) for an assisting mechanism on both gables. So...

Forrest,

Are we to assume that you are using the latest Control Nesting 5.89?

Steve,

Someone from CNC Automation's Service Department will try and contact you about this as soon as possible.

Let me know via email if you do not hear from them in the next little while.

Jeremy,

Can you post your DXF?

Jeremy, Well, 0.01mm is just under 0.0004". Perhaps you can try 0.03mm which would would result in an approximately 0.0012" "shift" - something that Control Nesting (CN) may better differentiate AND is really not that much of a variance when machining. Note: I have not tried this...

Check out NEMI... http://www.nemi.com/grid_table_fixturing.htm The beauty of this system is that with a full NEMI GRID mounted on your table, you can always run a D-SEAL around the outer perimeter, remove all the plugs and place a full SPOILBOARD on top in order to continue to use the machine as a f...

We have been directing our clients to use a "flip fence" exactly like that for almost 20 years. It was necessary to perform back machining operations for mullion doors produced with Panelmetrix. We currently provide our clients with a small program that will allow them to create a "fl...

Be careful to review the other axis as well... Thermwood's machines have used "right-hand rule" for decades. You will want to check and see if you software "rotates" the X and Y axis in order to stay relative to the +Z downward direction. (This would be "Inverted right-hand ...

Hmmmmm... Sorry... for both the "New Generation COntrol Only" solution AND that you are limited to the old pre-2000 OS/2 based controller. Although, if it still cuts and makes money! Can't complain about that. NOTE: Even on the newer generation controls, the AFL Print Window is limited to ...

Eric, On the newer generation of THM controls you can try the following: % Execute/launch "image" or "PDF" in the background and then proceed on... % >> Make sure that path and filename does not contain spaces and exists! [NEWPROC,"CALL", "BACK", "CMD.EXE...

I knew if I spouted something about using a KD pattern that the smarties like Jeremy would come out with the process. Hopefully the extra holes in the modified KD pattern (2 above and 2 below) will work. With a "phantom shelf" adding the line boring, you would have to make sure the positio...

Sometime ago, I believe someone had asked about small slots in the bottom that would correspond to the pins - in order to keep the shelves from sliding forwards AND to conceal the pins.

Perhaps a special KD pattern could both of these things?

JR, My 5 cents* would be that - it is better to upload the pictures as they can be viewed directly. People can then review the smaller representations and "click-to-enlarge" as they go. A ZIP file would require people to download the ZIP and unarchive it before they can view the pictures -...

Chris,

Where are the source file from? eCabinet Systems, Layered DXFs, Excel List or Manual Input?

What version of Control Nesting are you running?
