Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

If you have a Shopbot running eCabinet Systems files you are free to join production sharing as long as you specify the type of equipment and servcices you offer. Once you join Producction Sharing you should be on the map.

Our future plans are centered around eCabinet Systems. We have been trying to expand the program in two directions. For smaller shops, we have added support for ShopBot directly from eCabinet software. Here we hope to help the one and two man shops doing one or two jobs a month who might expand and ...

Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately the magazine has been a victim of the recession. We planned to convert to digital which reduced cost (postage) and allowed new features such as video, but even that has a hefty price tag. I’m not sure what will happen to the magazine as the economy picks up. ...

We will have to wait and see. Right now I don't plan a printed version but it could happen. I am like you but recently started using the Kindle from Amazon and it is just like a printed book. My book won't work on the Kindle yet but will work on the Sony reader which I understand is about the same t...

Finally got it working but the URL has changed.

Happy 4th to you all.

A glitch has developed. We have had some problems loading the book at Scribd but thought we had them worked out. The link however, doesn't work again. We will get this sorted out and I will post when it is again working. Sorry.

I have just e-published a new book and thought I would give you a heads-up. Unlike my earlier industry specific books, this one takes some forty years of business experience in highly competitive markets and distills it into a gut-level guide for entrepreneurs and business owners. This new book, “En...

Joe, since the programming folks haven't responded, I will give you what I know. You will be able to use the hardware database but not buy the items. You will need to supply your own cost and source info. I think you will also be able to add your own items and I also think you will be able to use th...

Try hitting the refresh button. Sometimes the system stores a site and shows it until you refresh.

We have started moving the library downloads to Akamai servers. Akamai has some 42,000 servers in 70 countries and we will be using them to download our libraries to you. This should open up the rest of our site and hopefully things will speed up a little. It will take several hours to get the first...

Here is a copy of an answer for another question but it applies here. As for other CNC machines, we need to be very careful. ShopBot is unique in that they really understand the underlying technology. They build and program their own control and have a deep understanding of how all this technology w...

The ShopBot can pretty much do everything the Thermwood can do, however it will be slower. There are a couple of limitations today. One is that right now you can’t scale carvings or carve in the nest. Both of these will be addressed and should be available for ShopBot in the next couple of weeks. An...

Let me handle a couple of questions. First, the Code Splitter is a software module that you buy and use. There is no ongoing fee or cost for its use. As for other CNC machines, we need to be very careful. ShopBot is unique in that they really understand the underlying technology. They build and prog...

Our new announcement must have hit a nerve. We maxed out, which has not happened before and then sustained at that level for hours. We are looking at ways to address this and, I expect over time demand will go back to a more normal level. Sorry for the problems. We had most folks here at Thermwood g...

Great timing Thomas. What Michael told you was true this morning but is not correct this afternoon. Today we announced a new link with ShopBot that allows the ShopBot to run output from eCabinet Systems. In fact, our program changed a lot today. We now offer an extensive body of cabinet and furnitur...
