Hi Ray... The shape manager basically deals with two types of files as you have found. When you create the geometry for a tool in the shape manager you should first save the geometry file by clicking on the save button and giving it a (name.x_t ). Once you have saved the geometry file you can create...

Well I hadn't tried to add solid stock to a shelf yet, but I did assume that simply setting it up in the edgebanding would be the easiest... I know we still have some issues with the edgebanding particularly out at the controller...so I have stayed away from using it. However it's relatively easy to...

RN still doesn't tell you where the error is...I find it quickest to open the cnc file in notepad and search for the word error...

Forrest...how fast are you running your 3/8 bit in plywood and/or mdf? Are you actually pushing 1200 ipm? That's twice as fast as they recommended when we were trained up in Dale.

FYI Here is the response I received from Justin regarding the shelf hole issue in the corner cabinet... \"This issue is fixed and will be available to them when Version 5.1 is released. (there is nothing we can do until the new version is released). The only suggestion I have as far as a work a...

I agree, please post the finish product - love to see it!

Mark

I will send them another email to see where we stand...as of yet I have not had any response from the guys at thermwood

We didn't actually send the part to the router...I pulled the shelf with holes and we drilled the cabinet on our blum press. The problem I was having with this particular corner cabinet was the holes were showing up on the wrong side of the right panel. We did have a problem recently with our router...

well....glad to see the pix's - I was begining to wonder if I wasn't seeing things!

If you are machining the drawer boxes on your router the following drawer which was a default drawer added with V5 is what we have been using to avoid the notching issue.
