Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Gary, thank you,
David

I just rebuilt my computer with a new hard drive after the old one crashed, do I use the V5 CD with a new reg. code and do updates online?
thanks, David Werkheiser

I am sure there is a faster way, I take each cabinet into Door/Drawer editor and delete doors and drawers, go back to main area and to Line Drawing and and select "take cabinet". Place your cursor over a intersection till a blue crosshair appears and click left mouse button, move cursor to opposite ...

I've used a jig like what Kerry showed for years, but have not always had perfect miters. I looked into the Hoffman Morso notching machine but at $8,000 its out of my price range. Has anyone used the Kreg machine? At $500 it seems cost effective for the small shop, if it works

Kerry
Thank you, I will try that.
I saw in one of your posts, (WoodWeb I think) a render of a theater that you were checking "sight lines", did you do that in eCabs? if so, it was very well done
David

Kerry, thanks for sharing with us, is it possible to duplicate cutouts for both sides, or do they have to be done separate?
Dave Werkheiser

Steve, just one or the many reasons that Thermwood is a GREAT company! Well done Jason, Ken and the rest of the team.

I've used "Camar" hanging rail system for 5 yrs for cabinets and closets. I prefer the "knock in" version over
using screws, which I feel is stronger (after seeing an overloaded cabinet with screws ripping out) I use a Blum hinge machine to drill the 8 or 10mm holes.

Mark, Great tip on removing shelf lines, much cleaner drawings!
Thanks, David

Vince, I am also a one man shop and as I get older, I am always looking ways to make things lighter.
I changed my way of building all tall cabinets into multiples of 2 or 3 units stacked and applying finished end panels where needed. The additional materials needed for the extra decks/ceilings will ...

Justin, sent you the files,(I hope), I noticed that after I hit the \"Perform Nest\" button, a box pops up \"not found in Sheet Stock for the.\"
When I print out a whole job of 24 sheets it starts out:
1-2 jumps ahead to 11-18, back to 3, ahead to 19-24, back to 4 , ahead to 25-26 and back to 5-10 ...

I am having problems when printing out nests, I have a list of 24 sheets but only want to print 1-8. The printer will print the 1st and 2nd. sheets with page numbers, than jump to sheets 11-18 with out page numbers. Also a box comes up on screen telling me that e-Cabs. needs to close.
I have tried ...

Chris, I too have problems with Blum 45* hinges. My problem is with full overlay, 3mm reveals, using square cabinet sides, 37mm system hole setback, the door face \"steps in\" from the faces of adjoining doors. If I bring door out from box, I need to use double or triple thick bumpers and hold door ...

Grady,
15yrs ago at the last shop I worked at, we used a lot of cypress for exterior work. 1yr. after building a house full of shutters we got a call from the owner, saying that the shutters were rotting. We never could find out if it was due to unknowing using sap wood or a possibility that kiln ...

Thanks to all who replied! I am going to use 23/32\" thickness for 3/4 ply. I guess my question should of been, If you set 3/4\" as a thickness in sheet materials and your plywood arrives less in thickness, do you go into E-cabs and edit every cabinet in existing job?
When I build beaded face ...
