Take the Std Base Framed cabinet from the Standard Cabinets Library into the cabinet editor. Go to Construction Settings and pick the Right End tab. Change the Front Construction to BlindDado and click OK. So far, so good. Now go back to Construction Settings, Right End and click Right End Construct...

Yup, I'm having the same problem. I thought it was they way I was holding my mouth when I hit the apply button. As Ben said, not a big problem.

Nat, I think the best way to constrain the handle holes is to the center of the drawer front. The first hole constraint would be W/2-1.5". The second hole would be 3" from the first. This is for a 3" handle. That should eliminate the edgebanding. If I've misunderstood your problem, pl...

Rob, I believe this post details how to make an upper cabinet like you describe. You should be able to use the same technique to make a base cabinet. For some reason the link doesn't seem to be working right now. Give it a try though, maybe you'll have better luck than I. http://www.thermwood.com/fo...

Josh,

While viewing the PLC screen or the History screen, press Alt+PrtScn. That will capture the active window. Then open Wordpad and press Ctrl+V. The will paste the screen shot. Then you can save the file and send it to Daniel.

Good Luck.

Not to hijack this thread but, why would resharpened tooling be an issue?

Rob,

That's how I do it also, once I train my customers. As you said, not the way I would prefer but it works well.

John,

Right click the desktop shortcut for CV and then select Properties, near the bottom. What is in the Target textbox?

Leo,

Set the bottom inset for the deck to the distance the face frame extends below the notch.

You sound like a wizard to me Jon. And that's exactly how I do it.

I don't know any way to do this without using a cad program to clean up and tweek the dxf. The image below is the tool applied to a piece of oak 3.5" wide by 1" thick.

Forrest,

Send me the dxf and I should be able to make the tool for you.

Neal,

I used your drawing and created the part without errors. Are you still having trouble?

Top Cote works great on tool tables like saws, jointers, and shapers. Doesn't leave a nasty residue and reduces friction. Never thought about using it on the tool holder. I normally put a few drops of WD-40 on a rag and wipe the tool holder with that. Seems to work just fine.

I'm not sure about the opposing blind dados, haven't come across that yet. If the shelf pins holes are 1/2 the thickness of the material, or slightly more, they will drill through.
