Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Okay....

Suppose I am in the market to do my own designs (for carvings)...and I want to buy some software.....

What does thermwood recomend for easy execution through ecabs?

The real reson is I am saving my pennies and will be hopefully adding this to my repertoire....

When you say drawers are you talking about the box or the front....if you mean the front..then they will be sized the way you see them on the screen and according to the parameters you set in the editor...same as the the drawer box... Remember some drawer slide call for 1/2 inch between the d box an...

nothing will be cut...if the hole pattern isnt there....

Sometimes I use the first hole and last hole of the slide and create a line boring pattern in the cab sides this allows you to mount your slides and then fill the intemediate holes with driving screws

Oh yeah....we used 128mm stainless handles and then had them mitered to fit inside the corner drawer front cost us about 50 bucks

Denny, I have done these before..cutting a normal corner cab and then shop fabricating the partitions for the drawers is probably your best bet... The alignment of the drawer slides and the drawer faces will be a challenge.. The partitions are easy to machine(mitres on opposite ends) and you can poc...

Okay Dan that was easy money,

Can the CNC use the .x_t files? in other words can I save the whole paterns and use them at the CNC without actually making a .twd file?

You know what Joe...I was imagining something quite similar to that...however I was hoping there was a software option for this... Could I run that operation into the waste board? So we now have a piece of MDF with the outline cut on it...screw down a couple of toggles to a fence butted around the o...

I just realized I hit 100 posts...

Okay I am kicking myself now.....

Thanks Dan...

Okay guys...I apologize for my ignorance of CNC ops....anyways apparently the problem now is locating the part on the table... we managed to cut some holes out by the CNC operator programing in the cut outs in plaintext....very slow we could not use the twd's I created because we do not know how to ...

I know how to use the hole pattern editor....however I wanted to create hole patterns and then associate them to display panels....not for hardware...is this possible?

What is that other file extension when trying to save?

Thanks

Thanks Ryan, We will be cutting parts on it tommorow...there is about 700 holes to bore in 92 slats ....wait it gets better...the alignment of the wall unit is entirely dependent on the holes lining up....wait it gets even better...only three dowels run top to bottom the others are at different leve...

when you created the twd...did you do it from the cabinet design editor? after editing the part. using the little button on the bottom left I tried it as a display panel(also as a cabinet side) and it would not nest in e-cabs.....does that mean it won't nest at the machine? I will get with the CNC g...

here it is as a job file

BTW when the part is edited I am not given the option to save as cabinet...only assembly
