5/8" Dado Nesting as a 1/4"?

Post by Darrel Wells »

Can someone help me with this? I have 5/8 material everywhere, but the top and deck are nested with a 1/4" Dado for the left end. I've checked all my settings and can't find if it's something I'm missing. This is a test cabinet, but this issue is showing up in a batched job I have to cut. Help?

Hey Darrel,

This is odd and sounds like a bug to me. The issue is in the eCabinets NEST, not only at the machine. It looks fine in Cabinet Editor. If I take this cabinet and only change the size to at least a 23" square box, problem solved. If I change left end to full width blind dado, problem solved. Any ideas THM guys?

If only the height is changed to at least 22.75, dadoes are correct. :? MAYBE all other cabinets in your batch that are taller than 22.75 are O.K. :?:

Gentlemen,

Thanks for all the info. It seems that the mixed flush setup of the top and deck is causing an odd issue for the full dado at certain heights. I will get it listed for the programmers to get resolved. The best stopgap for now (as mentioned in this thread) would be to use a 100% thickness blind dado with zero insets. Sorry for the inconvenience.
