Solid stock face frames
Is anyone using the CNC to produce solid stock face frames with puzzle joints? Do you need the 5 piece door clamp system for hold down support? I'm just curious what kind of success anyone may have had with this.

Todd,
I was at the Thermwood plant a couple of weeks ago looking at the machine and asked about solid frames with the puzzle joint, and was told, yes you can put a board on the table and nest the parts onto the board.
My question is, How noticable is the waste factor. Because the router will take off more than the saw blade curf, but on the other hand it may be able to nest more parts onto the board. The other question was no, you do not need the 5 piece door kit. The door kit holds the rails or style of the door off the table to allow the cutter to put the profile on the board stock without coming into contact with the table.
Another thing I would be currious about is, when you run the router down the board stock to cut out the rails and styles, would the router eliminate any spring back that happens sometimes when you cut the fibers of the board and end up having to re-joint the board.
