Programming Outsource

[BenRatt]

I am looking for someone to outsource ecab programming to on an as needed basis. Person should have at least 2 yrs experience with ecabs. Should also have 2 yrs experience with ACAD and Autodesk Design Review. Shop drawings will be forwarded in ACAD/Design Review and cabinets will be designed from the shop drawings. Have experience with and a good working knowledge of commercial style cabinetry and AWI standards. Cabinets will be using dowel/confirmat construction so experience with that is a plus. East Coast preferrable. Ability to work during normal business hours preferrable. Must be accessible during the day. Ability to program parts in ACAD and name layers based on DXF translator stipulations preferable. Please email resume/references/examples of work in ecabs.

So, how do you do the dowels and Confirmats using eCabinet Systems and the Thermwood router? I know you can setup the holes on the flat sides in the Part Editor, but how do you do the horizontal drilling?

I use the KD fitting settings instead of part editor. For the KD fitting I use a dowel program that I got from Jason S. If you search this forum you will find it. As far as the horizontal drilling I use another machine- an Accu-Systems HVPP CNC drilling machine. You could use a manual 32mm construction boring machine as well, but if you were going to do that using the part editor would probably be better because ecabs spaces the dowels out equally along a part edge instead of at set distances like you would need with a manual boring machine.

Thanks for the info. Dowels and Confirmats are my favorite way to put cabinets together. Unfortunately I don't have a CNC yet, so I just bore panels the old fashioned way with my Maggi construction boring machine.

Take care,

Joe
