Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Hi everyone,
We recently purchased a Vortex 7600 Insert dovetail tool kit and need some help setting it up on the router and in the Ecabs software. Anyone have any experience with this tool?
Any help would be appreciated. We are cutting 5/8 baltic birch as the drawer material.
Thanks
Jason

I'm running CN 5.59 b/c I hate the interface of the newer CN. Just wanted to say before everyone jumps at me about updating.
I can nest and write ro CNC small jobs, jobs w/ a few cabinets & not many parts. When I try a larger job, the one w/ problem is a closet job w/ approx 160 parts, it nests ...

We are using Win XP. It will do it with just about any job not anyone specific. It may open the job once then not the second time you try to open it. Same deal with the cabinets on Cab editor when trying to save. I am running Windows Security Essentials AV. Could that be the problem maker? Just ...

My ecabs software is becoming more & more unstable. I am unable to open previously saved jobs on a regular basis. Now today it is occasionally not allowing me to save cabs in cab editor. I have to save it under another name then resave as original. Any ideas or anyone else have this problem?
Thanks ...

I am using a CS45 to cut melamine closet components from DXF files, among other things. The router machines properly leaving the .025" skin I have set but as it cuts the 2nd pass it does not cut the skin even with the side of the part. I don't have any cleanup amount set so I don't think that is an ...

We are using iMac's running Ecabinets and have no problems what so ever. You will need to purchase and install a Windows OS (we are running Windows XP) in Boot Camp and run in the Windows OS for it to run smoothly but you should not have any issues. Our Macs are the best Windows machines we have. In ...

Hi guys, sorry if this has been answered before, I searched but didn't find anything. I need to cut through 1 3/4" solid oak. I need advice on feed speeds for those who have tried something similar. I have a Vortex 1660 1/2" Rough cut bit (3 flute) and Vortex 3160 Viper 1/2" Comp/ finish bit (2 ...

Thanks Ryan, I'll try it.

Hi guys, I need some help adjusting my offset settings. When I try to set my offsets an error occurs and shuts down the program. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi guys, We are getting into machining closet system parts and need some router bits to bore 10mm & 20mm for the Rafix connectors. Does anyone know where to find both of these with carbide tipped cutters? I have been looking and only found the 20mm on Hafele. I realize they will require an adapter ...

Thanks Dean, I wanted to be sure I did not buy something that would hurt me.

Many new workstation computers are offering Quad Core processors. Does Ecabs benefit at all from a quad core? More important, does it hurt the program (slow it down, etc.)? I have not been able to find any topics on this issue thus far.
Thanks

Hi guys, I need some input of setting up a new dovetail bit. We are using 5/8 drawer material and have been using a bit made for 1/2" material for dovetails. We purchased a dovetail bit for 5/8 material and are not sure what we need to do to set it up. Changes in program, etc.... Any advice is much ...

We are ready to purchase a new computer exclusively for Ecabs. I have a computer shop pricing me a custom built Desktop PC. Today, I was shown a Mac that really blew me away as far as ability to handle quite a load of programs and not miss a beat. I want to know how many people are running Ecabinets ...
