You are right sir! It was the sensor.
The timing of the problem and the update blinded me to the obvious. Thanks!

Auto tool measure problem after updating control
Hi Folks, Hoping for a little direction. We just recently updated our ecabinets software which made us finally update the control software. We had not been in a hurry since everything was working good. After doing so everything seems to work fine except: The auto tool measure program does not functi...

no help with coatings. we check all tool holders each morning and clean with very fine scotchbrite pad as needed. It is very humid here.

Re: Thermwood and Microvellum
Thanks Georgi, What kinds of surprises did you have regarding Microvellum? What components did you need that were not included? We are looking at a package with: OEM Microvellum Toolbox V6 AutoCAD, Face Frame Modular Casework Library V6, Nesting Bundle 2- Without True Shape Nesting (mv- Bundle), ALI...

Thermwood and Microvellum
I know there were some threads (in 2007) about problems with Microvellum playing nice with the Thermwood router. How are things today? Are there any Thermwood machine owners using Microvellum successfully.
Any input about the combination would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Steve Dyches

Re: The Future of eCabinet Systems
Thanks for the improvements!
I think the assembly marks will be a benefit as it reduces thinking. thinking hurts It will be good in a multi-employee shop and for RTA products sold to others.
I still look forward to the improved line drawings.

Re: eCabinet Systems, the economy, reality and change
Hi Ken, I’ll chime in with a few points in case my situation, experience and opinion is helpful. 1. I chose eCabinets because it was free. 2. I bought Thermwood router because: the machine was competitively priced, other machine brands would require new software (basically raising their routers real...

Re: Frame flush to inside
Mark, The reason I started this was because I wanted to make our most common inset face frame cabinets faster. For us this included being able to flat finish all end panels, face frames etc. and then mount them to the pre-finished case. No masking, no finishing the case. Now with the router we get t...

Re: Frame flush to inside
Joe, We use pocket screws and glue OR clamps and glue to attach face frames. Been doing this for at least ten years with no problem. Our cases are 3/4", backs 1/2" and default FF is 1 1/2"w. The 1 1/2" FF makes it easy to flush partitions to one side and double up or "shim&q...

Re: Frame flush to inside
Count me in. We build most of our cabinets this way and this feature would make my life much easier.

Re: Best practice joinery 3/4 backs flush sides
Hey Gene,
Everyone has their preferences but I guess ideas is what you're fishing for. So, I would set the rebate to 3/8 deep instead of 1/4 and add tenon to the back of top/rear stretchers. Also, if I had the option would use 1/2" back material. My 2 cents.

Re: Inset door margins and hinges
Gene,
Just to confirm others, we do mostly inset FF and do exactly as John described. Always works.
We do build our doors oversized slightly and square on the slider to exact size. This gives a really tidy reveal with adequate room for adjustment.

Interpolate Question
Newbie question:
Can someone explain how "interpolate" and "maximum interpolate diameter" is used in nesting tool setup? What does this do?
I missed this one.
Thanks,
Steve Dyches

Re: Help understanding tool choice for tenons?
Jason,
I'll keep this limitation in mind. However, FWIW, I would love to see the programing allow us to use a tool up to the combined size of the tenon length + the outline tool diameter.
Thanks for the responses,
Steve

Todd, Hopefully I have attached a sample cabinet with the joinery I'm talking about. Look at the Top's left and right tenon. Note that the thickness of the tenon and the dado width and depth are not the problem. The problem is with the length of the tenon. Physically I don't see why the tenon couldn...
