Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

I tried it today, the downspiral measured .370 and the re-sharpened compression measures .364 so Dans method worked out well.

Does anyone use these and do you have a preferred model number for the pins and cam. In Ecab there is a default Hafele number but I don't know what pin to use with it. We are getting a growing number of jobs (small elevators) where knock down cabinets would be a bonus and I would like to order some ...

Thanks Dan, I will give it a try...

How do I force the machine to use a specific bit to do a certain job? Example: I ordered a 3/8" downspiral to do a shallow pocket without chipping, how do I force the machine to use the 3/8" downspiral in toolholder #7 instead of the usual 3/8" compression in toolholder #1.

This problem never went away, it is even occuring more often, I even have a shortcut on the desktop to the Thermcrypt file! I have done the DAO install and all the other suggestions.

Very busy here in SW PA. , can't get work done, need more people and larger building. Thermwood is running nearly 6 to 8 hours a day, then again we are nearly 95 percent commercial work which is booming in our area.

We use a 24" Samsung at work, here at home I use 2 - 22" Viewsonics (split screen) Ecab on one ususally cad program open on other.

Pete, I tried another keyboard and the scrolling works perfect. A bad keyboard would probably explain why twice the control started typing random characters on the screen all by itself we had to shut down and restart the machine to stop it. Who do we contact for replacement?

I will have to bring one from home , will get back to you Monday.

Old software ver I do not Know, we always kept it current . We do have a barcode reader, no secondary keyboard, we do have a usb mouse we have had since the machine has been setup. When you say ps2 style you mean small round plug not usb.

After our control update (ver 7.1.0.7 SE1149 05-15-2008) we can no longer scroll through lines of code by holding down the down arrow, when you try to you get an error box saying ( OPERATOR ERROR: cannot save part file while the machine is cutting.) the error doesn't make sense since the machine is ...

Off topic I know, but I was wondering if the moderators of the forum ever considered a forum area where members could post used shop tools they want to sell...

yes this is one of our biggest wishes, we do a lot of offices and having the CNC do the lock holes in the drawer faces would save a ton of time!

Another cabinet shop in our area that doesn't have a CNC wants us to cutout cabinets and edgeband the parts. They are providing the materials and picking up the parts, how do you price this out, by the hour, by the sheet ? Whats the going rate?

This is new problem since 5.2 upgrade, when I add a door to a frameless cabinet setting top reveal 1/4, left 1/8, right 1/8, bottom 1/4 then add the door it shows and comes properly into the door editor, when I hover the mouse over the door it is the right size but when I return to the Main screen t...
