Some more details on the Corian signs.

I have v-carved smaller corian signs but I prefer to rout larger signs to a shallower depth (around .125" or less) using an end mill as carving deep,...

The kitchen that Mr, Dunphy has built for this client represents a fine example of design, and craftsmanship.

Reveals in custom overlay cabinetry are highly subjective and should be left to the...

Thanks for the warning to stay away from tabs. I would not have known about this and I am sure I would have found out the hard way.

I have never heard any mention of this.

It would be interesting to know if there has been an actual documented case where a finish failure has occurred with UV coated products where the cause...

I have never had trouble and for whatever reason it seems to work for me. Thus I choose to do this at my own risk.

I would recommend following the instructions provided by ShopBot. I believe...

I hope everybody is all right. These storms are no joke. For those affected, it does get better. The outpouring of volunteer support, and charitable efforts will be of an even larger magnitude...

Don't hesitate to call tech support if you are having trouble.

The link will walk you through the each tool change, and give you an opportunity to zero the bit if necessary.

I zero to the bed of the machine (aka the spoil board). Once you start doing it...

I was not able to duplicate the issue I mentioned earlier. I am still going to see if I can track down the specific TWD file just in case.

My guess is that this may not have been a bug and...

I only worry about adding new hardware on an as needed basis. The hardware editor is a breeze once you get used to it. It is better to focus on the 2-3 hole patterns that you actually need for a...

I would go with B for sure.

I hope they don't want you to run antivirus software....... From the wording, why would you do this, and then machine the material? This leaves me to believe that...

I need to see if I can find the specific TWD that I had been working with. I will send some more information if I can duplicate this.

When trying to nest parts in scrap material, it seems as if the link my be ignoring the dimensions of the material and instead nesting along either the X, or Y as selected, as if either of those...

I prefer to install bases first for various reasons. That is my personal preference though I have done it both ways. There is certainly nothing wrong with uppers first if that is your preferred...

Keep in mind, I spent 40+ hours working with the software, within that two week timeframe.

I made these cabinet jacks recently, and they work so well that using them is almost cheating. They are a based on a design, I saw in a youtube video.

All they are, are a plywood support, with an...

Here are a couple of pictures from my phone. This is an e-cab/link job, I built that I am currently installing. Note that the old countertop was temporarily reinstalled, while I complete the butcher...

I ran Partworks via parallels on an early Macbook for a while and it did work OK. For windows 7 and Aspire, I would go for a minimum of 8gb of ram if you can. Especially if you are running Lion. ...

The central vaccume style replacement motors are the way to go. They cost less than 1/2 the price of a single Fein Turbo Vac, and they preform better.

I run two Lighthouse 6765-13 motors and I...

I have always preferred to apply a 1/4 -1/2" solid wood banding. However this is a habit that is extremely time consuming.

As much as I want a real bander with trimming units I still don't have...

There is a lot more to cabinetmaking than cutting, and edge banding parts. The project I am working on now, involved about 2-3 days of CNC time which is rather insignificant since I have invested...
