Re: Woodworking Machinery and Supply Expo in Toronto, Canada

I want to give a big thanks to all of the staff at CNC automation. They are a remarkable bunch of guys and gals and did a really great thing this weekend. Usually at the shows all the material that is being cut is thrown out. This year 3 complete kitchens, several vanities and a number of closet sys...

Printing Labels

Not sure if this is in the right place but a little while back the boys at thermwood changed how we print from the machine. When the change was made we lost the ability to print out just bar codes. Is there anyway we can get that back. We often print just bar code for the offalls because we do not n...

Blind Corner cabinet

Ok Guys, I think I have found a work around for blind corner cabinets in e-cab. The only problem is that the software flips the tenon on the blind side thus creating a flip operation on the machine. eg. tenon on the top side on one end of the shelf and on the bottom side on the same shelf. I have at...

Re: Blind Corner Cabinet

Justin;

If I leave .009 then the front width is .875, this creates a problem with blind corner hinges. I know that I could just take the dadoes out for that side but I would like to reduce any type of human error white trying to reproduce the tenon.

Blind Corner Cabinet

sufacing spacer board

Hello everyone;

We have a cabinet shop 40 with a 5 X 10 table. We are currently using 4 X 8 sheets for our spacer, my question is does anyone have a surfacing program that will just surface 4 X 8 instead of the entire 5 X 10 table.

thanks

Re: eCab 5.2 batch issues

Scott;

You are a genius, I did as you asked and everything worked fine. I took it a step further and changed material thickness as well and it did not go boom. Is this just one of those things that I am going to have to live with or is it a hate to say it a bug.

thanks for your help

Steve
