Re: Is there a Conestoga slab drawerfront in the library?

I is not there and I must have inadvertantly deleted it. How can it be recovered?

Is there a Conestoga slab drawerfront in the library?

The library of Conestoga drawerfronts that came with the software has sixteen styles. See the pic for the bottom of the scroll view. I need a slab d'front that is Conestoga (outside purchase) and I recall there being one. Where did it go? It is not one of the sixteen.

Re: Critique this assembly scheme please

Thanks, Kerry. I should do that. Change all my 4" parts to join with two tenons and one screw at center. How is this specified in the construction settings?

How to do text on part labels

Most of our jobs are done using 3/4" MCP ( M elamine C oated P particleboard) sheet stock for carcase components, but there are cases where we want parts that are painted, and for these we specify 3/4" prefinished maple plywood. Our jobber gives the side to be painted a light sanding and paints. I ...

Critique this assembly scheme please

This is not a question about how to do something with the software, but one of how my cabinet assembly method is schemed, and maybe can be improved.

We build the cabs and go to production sharing to source the carcase parts. Almost everything we do is with MCP, with occasional jobs done in part ...

Can these be set as defaults when designing cabinets?

I'd like to have a default cabinet door, and associated with the door, a default hinge hole pattern. This, so that when doors are spec'd and placed on a cabinet front, they are the default style, and the hole pattern has placed the hinge mount holes in the cabinet sides.

Help VERY occasional user with drawer slide holes

I created a pattern for the Blum Tandem Blumotion slides to be used, two 5mm dia holes at specified locations, set to be 15mm deep into sides (gables) with the negative depth set to that, saved the pattern file, installed drawerboxes in cabinet, set the drawer box slide to have the pattern file ...

Check out my settings and comment please

Been away from eCabs for a while and lost my seeds files, so I am starting from zero. We use production sharing to source frameless box parts and our program for assembly is lock dado joints everything fixed with Zip R screws, the parts all drilled with 3mm through holes for the screws.

Attached is ...

Settings for stretcher joints - lock tenon using screws

I'd like to get to a standard (for me) in doing this joint, which comes into play on just about every base cabinet I do.

Stretchers each have a pair of tenons and the sides they join have 1/8" pilot holes thru-cut at the fastener location between tenons. Stretcher width is 4.5 inches. I'd like less ...

Blanking out the KD fastener in lock tenon

How can I make a lock tenon joint but without any fastener prep hole or mortise?

I do lock tenon with ZipR screws done with 1/8 dia. thru holes at each fastener point, the pattern being a hole.

For a basecab with tray divider partitions, we see no need for screwing thru to fix them in place, and ...

Frameless base with tray dividers below drawer

I did one of these for a recent job and the partition is lock-tenoned into the deck, back, and the stretcher under the drawer. No need for any fastening, the mortise and tenon fit-up is just fine for these.

We used 12 mm baltic birch ply for the partition, which is part-edited to do the concave ...

Easiest way to edit (change) all the strechers in my seeds

I need to change all stretchers and rear tops from 4" width to 4.5" width, to make a more proper lock-tenon-with-screw joint.

I don't want to begin without checking in with you pros here. The cabinets, all bases, are drawerstacks, and drawer-over-door, or drawer-over-door-with-rollouts, and I don't ...

Re: Do you cut beveled edges?

What is the depth-of-step for the 22.5 degree bevel shown?

And please provide some info on the time needed to program for cutting such a bevel. Does one program serve for every part in a nest with such a bevel?

Re: Do you cut beveled edges?

Thanks, Kerry. I asked the production-share shop to comment on this.

Can you provide a little detail? It seems that the surface of the bevel gets stepped, if I understand correctly. Here is an image of a cut in 3/4" material, the steps about 1/16 h. x 1/64" stepover.
