Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Michael, I have nothing over you but we do have the same One watching over us. Over 3 hours must be fine detail with small step over or covers your whole table. Let's see some pictures. Mark, I have been using Artcam Pro 8 and now 9 plus I also use Artcam Insignia 3.6 and they just released v4. Insi...

Well Michael Murray, You got me there well at least the part about walking away. About 26 years ago coming back from what was touted as Woodstock II at Hammonasset (http://www.friendsofhammonasset.org) Beach State Park, in Connecticut. My head met a guard rail and my body left about 60-70% of my ski...

Thanks for the posts and don't be shy, keep them coming :D Mark, How thick have you cut and what RPM and IPM have you used with the comp bit (what radius) using conventional? I will be doing 1\" thick and will do a test in the next few days. Michael Murray- Yes I know the feeling. I had a june ...

Thanks guys for the input. (53) Todd- I printed that post and it had some good info in it Michael-Do you use a 2 flute or 3 flute bit? Wow you are using a conventional cut??? I may try that also but everywhere I have looked so far says \"climb\" 300IPM seems about the standard. I may try a...

Hey everyone, I was just checking to see if anyone has cut parts out of 1\" hickory. I have to cut a few gun stocks and heard it is really \" hard \"wood!! Feed and RPM, Tooling, climb or slow conventional. I want to have a smooth finish but keep it quick. I only have a couple of boar...

Thanks Daniel for the info but I would still like actual experience from someone who has cut this material or similar. What kind of bits? upshear, downshear, compression, solid carbide, carbide tipped or HSS, Speed of RPM and IPM, Dust extraction on or off, any preparations to CNC prior to routing a...

Talk about \"Green Building\"

Marius, We use a 1/2\" up down shear PCD on 5/8\" MDF core 2 sided melamine all day long at 18500 rpm and 750IPM and get an average of 150-250 sheets per bit. Sheets vary because of the number of parts per sheet. Some may only have 6 parts per sheet and some have 44 parts. we always ramp i...

Just wondering if anyone has had experience cutting this material called Maranite I (Calcium silicate). It is used for high heat insulation and flame retarded walls. My main question is will it effect the spindle since it is sort of like cutting sheet rock and cement board. Would the grit/chaulky du...

Mark, Maybe you are having these issues because of the particle board??? I have not used PBC for over 10 years. We use either VC or MDF core material and rarely have a problem with fitting joints. As far as flip ops, I engineer the job to have minimal if any. But if you are having a lot of partition...

Kirk and Joe, Kirk, I would suggest just going blind dado like Dan and Joe said. Even with a horizontal aggregate you have to mount your parts on a pod to get clearance for it and then you have to do each part by it self and I do not know if Ecab supports it. I know it can be done but you loose the ...

It's finally here

I have not received mine yet
Has anyone in Texas received theirs?

Hey Mark, That will be one for the Service dept at Thermwood. The 2 guys that have shown me how to do it are Josh Hodges over here in New Brunfalls (I think that's how you spell it) Texas and the other was the service tech from Thermwood that came to install my C42 last year. There are little thumb ...

mark, Take a look at plastic hand that your tool snaps into. There is a sponge strip around the prongs. I have brought them closer to the tips and it puts a little more pressure on them. Also you may have to adjust your air pressure for each of the cylinders. Are they popping through or not enough u...
