You Betcha is a video series that highlights the power and flexibility of Thermwood CNC systems. Each episode demonstrates real features, tools, and workflows built into Thermwood controls, software, and machines, showing what’s possible and how to use it. You Betcha delivers practical insights that help users get more from their Thermwood investment.
Episode 2: The Thermwood Welcome Desk
October 8, 2026Drew Keller of Formline Studio asked: “Is it possible to make something worth displaying while cutting away less material than you would from a solid blank?” You Betcha.
See how we made our Thermwood Welcome Desk from concept to printing, machining, laying down the epoxy pour for the top and assembling. This episode gives an in-depth overview of an impressive piece that you can see in our booth at most upcoming shows.
The showpiece starts with a massive sculptural base designed in Mastercam and 3D printed bead by bead on our flagship LSAM 1020 using Airtech's Dahltram T-100GF, a recycled copolyester with 30% glass fiber. Printing that shape near its final form means far less material is cut away than if it were carved from a solid block.
The cedar countertop features inlaid geometric patterns, with deep pours of ecoPoxy FlowCast and a crystal clear UVPoxy finish. Birch shelves and a lower countertop, lettering, lights and other components complete the build.
Episode 1: THM Converter
January 8, 2026In this first episode of You Betcha, we answer a question we hear all the time: “If I’ve got a CNC program written for another brand of machine, can I run it on a Thermwood?” You Betcha.
We provide two ways to watch this answer. You can watch the Overview to see the highlights, or check out the In-Depth Breakdown where we dive deep into the technical process.
We break down why the CNC controller is the brain of the entire machine and how Thermwood’s ULTRA 6 SuperControl makes powerful tools like the THM Convertor possible.
You’ll see how the THM Convertor lets you create conversion rules to translate another machine’s G-code structure into a Thermwood-ready program, reducing manual edits and speeding up changeovers.
