Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Michael and Kerry, I fixture I am referring to was holding the board stock that they were cutting the mouldings for the Credenza. It held 8' long board stock that they carved the mouldings from. I am familiar with the fixture for the five piece doors, but the one I remember was similar to the rotary...

Roger, Actually my manual hold downs are made of mdf. I will cut a small rabbit out and screw it down through the waste board. If you are running multiple parts of the same you can loosen the screws and twist them out of the way while changing parts. I run a lot of fluted pieces this way. It is kind...

At the IWF show I remember some type of fixture they were using to hold the board stock in place while running mouldings. Is this something that is available from Thermwood. I can't remember exactly what it look like or how it even worked, but I would be interested in some more info.

Thanks,

Zach

Roger, I just remembered at the IWF show in Atlanta they were cutting mouldings for the furniture pieces they were displaying and they had some type of fixture that held the board stock in place. If anyone has any info on this fixture please let me know I would definately be interested in one. I loo...

When running board stock I make dedicated waste boards with manual hold downs or I fasten the parts through the back of the spiol board. They make a sheet material similar to double sided tape that come is different widths that also may work. I did try this method before, but found that when running...

Thanks for the reply Joe. I will go back and rework that cabinet and see what I can come up with.

Zach

I noticed this when I went to nest the job and nothing was coming up. If you look at the cutlist you will see it is requiring a huge number of sheet goods.

Hoping one of the gurus here could give me a hand figuring this one out. I would hate to have to redo the room.

Thanks,

Zach

Nick,

How did you fix this problem. I have 22 cabinets that I need to cut parts for asap, but I haven't found a fix yet.

Zach

Has anyone ran into this problem before. All cabinets created in Build 10, and they all have blind dado contruction. They are no part editor cuts on any of them. But when I go to nest in CN 5.08 it is treading all my dados as pockets and it wants that correct diameter of tooling to do so. I have nev...

Any of you computer experts know anything about *.ai files and how I could open it up or convert it so I can open it up in BobCad.

Thanks,
Zach

Rob,

The cutters I am using are Magnate. If you do a quick search on you will find a numerous places selling them. What software are you using for cad/cam. If you want let me know why size cutter you are looking at I will try to give some estimated rpms and feeds.


Zach

Rob, I have cut several rossettes on our machine. I see if I can get you some info on were I purchased my cutters and all my peck drilling feeds. Once you have the feeds set up correctly there is practically no sanding needed on the parts. We also machine all the rossettes and then cut them on our t...

I thought I had already done that, but that evening I went back and tried it again and everything seems to be working fine now. Thanks for the reply though.

Zach

I adjusted my 901 settings to run some custom mouldings that I had to fixture. My problem now is that even though I changed them back they are not correct. I checked them several times to make sure it took the changes back to my normal.

Thanks,

Zach

Thanks for the responses, I will try both approaches.

Will this be fixed in V5, it is very frustrating (esspecially when you are trying to train someone).

Thanks,
Zach
