Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Haven't used this part of software yet. I hope I can get some basics understood. I have a 12" x 12" X 3/4" panel mdf. I would just like to add a square 8" x 8" on top using a V- groove bit 1/4" deep. I have checked the tool library but do not see a "V" bit. So...

"Don't use cutter comp" ??

I had to cut some lettering recently for a customer. 1/2" MDF. I used a 1/4" bit. As you can see from the picture the corners of the "N" is where the issue is. The original is a letter comes to a point in that area. I'm just wondering why it would drill out that area like that? T...

Just would like to know if there is an easier way to do this. I would like a base cabinet with 2 small upper drawers. 2 medium drawers and one large drawer. From top to bottom. This is what I do. Add 2 shelves. Upper gap 10". Middle gap 15" and lower gap 10". In the upper space I add ...

Thank you Scott! Learning every day

Heres a pic. Just picked a sink and plant at random. How to move these objects closer/further from wall??

This is funny, so since my post I have been trying any display object. Plant, sink, range top.....etc. I choose the object, it pops up on plan. I plug in left/right coordinates and up/down coordinates. Theres no other back/front??? relation to wall?

Currently working on a kitchen layout. I am trying to place a range top on top of a base cabinet. I can move the object up and down, left and right but cannot move backwards/forwards. I need to move it back to the wall, right now its sitting in the middle of the kitchen...floating in air :lol: Why c...

I have a base 45 corner cabinet. I am trying to add a stretcher from top to deck. It wont let me?? Message says "not compatible". Can you only put shelves in these units? Any one else frustrated?

Thanks Josh, that makes sense but its just weird that it just happens when it travels along the edge. Cuts great everywhere else.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Heres one. As you can see the skin. Even after it has done the second "removing skin" pass.

Just a few facts first: 3/4" Melamine. 1/2" tool for outline. No matter if its a large piece (cuts outline in one pass) or small pieces( 2 passes). The finished process leaves a 0.01" skin along the bottom edge. The length of the table. About 1/2" - 3/4" wide. I hope Im expl...

I have edge banded the table board to maximize vacuum, but what about the waste board? Will this help at all? Noticing that at G901 corner the Baltic birch that I am using curls up a bit and cant seem to force it down. Only things to do is nest in a different corner, change panel of wood to somethin...

Actually Scott the large black rectangle represents the table. The red is the 36" sq sheet.
Thanks for everyones input. Much appreciated. Will play with ideas on Monday.

Ian

You could also nest it to the corner and use a fixture offset to move it to the center or use a really big collar value. You can set up a material type to do this automatically. If you have to nest several items in specific places then Scott's suggested method is the better way. Thanks Daniel, coul...

Sorry for the confusion. Should have drawn this first. As you can see a 36" x 36" panel with a 6"x6" cut out in the middle. I have Solidworks, I thought there might be a simpler way to "fool" the machine to tell it where to start.
Thanks
Ian
