Looking for someone to cut my cabinets

Post by Jame Van Horn »

Hi guys,
I apologize for posting here, but I don't know where else to turn. I need some assistance with finding a reliable company to cut my cabinets. I've been to the \"Production Sharing\" page on this site, but there are not very many companies listed. I've contacted them all in my area, and have had poor success finding a reliable company. I have the ecabinet job file ready, only slight changes are needed to start production. (I will not post the file publicly here.)

I'm in upstate New York, but a New York based company is not a requirement. I'm looking for a reliable company that can offer cutting, painting, and assembly. Please help me out, this is dragging on way too long with these other companies I've contacted.

Thanks,
James

I am still looking for more. Please contact me!
I was under the impression that this ecabinet community was good to get involved in. So far, I'm finding very few companies that can offer ecabinet cutting services.

(Just to clarify, this post is not in referrence to Mike Murray from Versatile Cabinet & Solid Surface. They have already contacted me. I am just looking for more compaines.)

James,
I do apologize for not getting back to you after our discussions and e-mails. I did put some effort in to your project, as far as nesting it at the machine and giving it a good go over. I should have followed up with a answer. I apologize for that. I do beleive the reason you are not getting any interest is that your project is going to be very time consuming and difficult to cut/hold down, due to the very small pcs and very thin plywood.It can be done, but very time consuming and probably a lot of recuts even at that. I dont beleive this to be a profitable job for any one with a Production type router who needs to cover there costs. Although I might be wrong and some one here might come up with something for you. You might want to try the shop bot forum, maybe some one with less overhead and more time available on their machine might be interested. Your project could be redrawn in a cad program pretty easily if you found someone with a smaller project type router.As far as finding reliable companys, I beleive there are many on here, if they werent, they would not be making to many router payments. Your project just has little chance of profit and unfourtenetly that is a driving force.
Hope this helps,

Hi everyone,
After a pm from James, I would ask anyone interested to contact James and form your own opinion after looking at his project. I really did not mean to discourage any one needing work to look at this job. It is a possibility that someone else might have a different opinion.
Thanks

The problem wasn't the small parts, it was a lack of people contacting me in the first place. In fact, the small part issue is minor, and not a show stopper.

I'm still looking for companies that have the ability to cut using the ecabinet software.

Using this page, I contacted everyone close to my New York area including Penn., NJ, Conn., NH.

I am now open to other areas, as the selection near NY is limited.

Thanks,
