Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Wally, great to see you here! Thanks for the affirmations about ecabinets. The line bore is working very well, a great machine for a smaller shop like mine.

Thanks Scott, just knowing that it will do what I need is a the key knowledge I needed. I didn't want to invest a lot of time into a program only to find out it couldn't work for my shop. Time to jump in.

Scott, that's perfect, thanks for taking the time to draw that up. My final question is: usually I get a drawing from a designer that has the outside drawer front measurements and a couple other basic things, like finished height and width. None of this has factored in the 3/32" reveal between the ...

Hi Tim,
thank you, that does help. The hinge deal is not really a deal breaker, its more of a "would be nice". I could work with that drawing but I would prefer to have something at least like the face frame jpeg. face frame drawing.jpg

Currently installed is windows 7 premium, but apparently since I bought a new computer this ...

Thanks guys for the help, I didn't realize that the integrated video card could affect it like that. I'll start looking at better suited systems with this info in mind.

Just, FYI. Some users have been able to use virtualization software to run eCabinets on a Mac.

Thanks Rick, I did consider that route but feel I would be better served with a proper PC instead of degrading the Mac with the virtualization ...

Hi Will, I have spent some time searching this site already, but much of the information is out of date when compared to what's available in stores today. I take it by good luck you're implying that it will be substandard? Is the processor speed too slow? I was told that the quad core laptop I ...

Hi guys, I'm new to eCabinets and have a couple of questions regarding computers. I generally do all of my business and personal computing on a Mac, it's been years since I bought a PC. For the fact that I need this program to be portable I am looking at PC laptops and plan to integrate my business ...
