    Try KCD 'one touch machining' before you buy it. To me it was very clunky and often required having the company make changes when doing something slightly different. I like the machining part of E-cabs much better, though the drawing in KCD was nice.

    Thanks, I will give it a try before I commit. The machining capabilities of Ecabinets are pretty close to ideal...

    I think that Thermwood owners have the ability to pull KCD files into their control software, which would be the best of both worlds (with nominal steps) Unfortunately I'm fairly sure that this feature doesn't carry over into the SB Link.

    Turns out that this is 'screen to machine' - no other software needed.

    But- no option for a climb then conventional cut for perimeter cuts, which may be a deal breaker...
