Is E Cabs and the ShopBot Link worth the time and money? I know pending on what you do maybe, maybe not.
So what I am looking to do is develop a couple basic framed and framless cabinets and sell that cutting to the general public. At some point maybe I start cutting for some local shops. My plan is to make my CNC services 80%-90% of my business. In the past I have drafted and cut cabinets using ACAD with ok results. Having used ACAD for years I am very proficent with it's use.
Based on the posts I have read the system, wheather it be the link or the software, seems to be very buggy I have had enough headaches and still do with the shopbot and I just don't know if I can afford anymore brain damage and frustration. I actually purchased the link about 6 months ago and after it took about 5-6 hours to try and get a file written I pretty much gave up and decided I would try it another day. Well another day is here, I probably have a couple months to either increase the CNC business or go back and sit behind the desk so hopefully cutting some cabinets is a way to stay out from behind the desk.
My current set up is as follows:
48x96 PRS Alpha, 2.2 HSD Spindle, vacuum table, no tool changer
Thanks in advance for any advice.
