@@MariannUleberg I generally zero to the table. For what is in this video the location of Z zero does make a difference. The decision of where to Zero Z really does not matter as long as you have accurately measured the material thickness. Another reasoning on where to Zero Z could be based on the type of operations you are cutting. If VCarving knowing where exactly the top of material is is important so instead of measuring material accurately you can zero on the top. Now if most of your cuts are through cuts knowing where the table surface is is important to not cut to deep into spoil board so you may zero to the table surface. Hope this makes sense.
I know I've been asking a lot of questions lately on your other videos. As I go through your software capabilities I keep finding important features that are lacking. As mentioned before having the ability for full blind dado front and back would be nice. I also noticed lacking the ability to add a stretchers with blind dado. Sink cabinets and single drawer with doors needs a stretcher below the drawer.
@@CabinetPartsPro That's great. If you could also include up down stretchers with blind dado that could be used for sink facer board. I build my sink cabinets with a 6-1/2" flat facer (no top stretchers) with a 4-1/2" stretcher under it for the door banger. Also do you have anything for building pie shape corner cabinets for bi-fold doors?
You have replied to my messages quite promptly so I'm going to keep pointing out areas of your software that I feel would benefit updating for a higher quality product. I build my drawer boxes with the bottom inset to accept Blum soft close undermount slides with 5/8 material using full blind dado. To avoid any flip operation the bottom is blind dado into the sides only and the front and back is blind dado into the sides only. The bottom is flush to the front and back of the sides and the front and back sit on top of the bottom. On large drawer boxes, I add screws from the bottom into the fronts and backs to prevent any sag. This method allows for the Blum drawer clips to be mounted flush to the front without notching.
You have a setting to allow for the front inset Why can't you have settings for full blind dado on the backs, tops and bottoms? How are the fit clearance configured ?
@@CabinetPartsPro I'm not asking for full dado. I'm asking for full Blind dado. Have the ability to have all the dado's inset from the front and back as well as the back to be inset top and bottom. You should also make your drawer boxes have the ability for full blind dado without the need for a flip operation. Your software is showing some promise but missing quite a few settings needed to tweak certain parameters for quality fit in assembly. If you're willing to listen I'd gladly point them out.
Hello. I have question since I use part nester and what it does makes some parts cut in clock wise and some counter clockwise. I know counter clockwise should be proper. Is there a way to update part nester so it doesn’t cut clock wise?
The options for Direction Conventional vs Climb is what sets the clock wise or counter clockwise. Conventional is the direction that would produce the better edge 95% of the time. Conventional is a left to right or Counter Clockwise when cutting on the outside. If cutting on the inside then Conventional cut will make a clockwise move ( but would be counter Clockwise if standing in the middle) Hope I explained well enough. If not let me know.
@@CabinetPartsPro Thank you for this fast replay. I will have to check my settings tomorrow in my part nester. I use cabinet software that sends information to part nester and for some add reasons some small parts cut clockwise instead all parts cutting counterclockwise. My machine then shows me which part cuts clockwise and counterclockwise. Once again thank you for your fast response.
@@CabinetPartsProI would like to add that after checking my part nester set up all is correct and it still sends some sheets with clock wise cut and counter clockwise on a same material. Not sure if you came across something like that.
I have questions before I commit time and money on your software. The blum slide holes I use have an upper and lower pair of holes with 6 holes altogether. Can I custom write these or is the program limited to 2 holes?
@@CabinetPartsPro I downloaded your trial version to get a feel for it. My experience is on a Thermwood (eCabinet) but now running Mach3. Your program lacks setting features I'm accustom to. Will the trial version allow me to write and run my own scripts ? When a dxf is imported is a script written that I can access modify and save as my own custom seed cabinet?
Ryan, Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I love how you added your bike route, and how simple you made it possible. It was so easy to follow along with you. I have been wanting to try a topo of the Adirondacks on my cnc. And now seeing how you did it, I can't wait to try. Again thank you.
Hi Ryan, Really cool gadget! Question; I'm not able to figure out the anchor point box. The center point is easy enough and probably all that I will ever need but the 4 corner anchor points seem to be the opposite of what would be intuitive. When I choose the upper right anchor point it places the gear to the lower left and vice versa. Can you help me out with how this works? Thanks Ryan!
As someone who is just getting into this and is using a cheap 3018 cnc and Easel, huh? I still dont really understand what people are talking about when they saying they doing Vcarve. Is it just the act of using a Vbit, or is it more than that?
V carving is the act of using a V bit that pulls up in corners to give sharp inside corner. If you did a standard profile on the inside of a square at the for corners there would be a radius. Using V carving the V bit will move in 3 axis from the depth of cut up to the surface of the material this motion will then give a square inside corner. Hope this helps
Thanks, I save it from my old pc and then improted (even to the cloud) in my VER 10.516, but my Machine_data are not there and Material data for plastic, aluminium etc. is gone, how to fix it, thanks a lot JJ
Ryan, thanks for the videos. Very well documented. I know you say that the software is a box builder, but for me the reason you use automation like you have provided is so that you don't have to do the mental math required to produce the cabinets. It seems that when you have to manually account for offsets every time you enter a dimension, something gets entered wrong and you ruin entire sheets of material. For me, it would be better if these offsets (face frame specific) can be entered as setup parameters and when the vectors are created the software knows that for a 24 inch cabinet that has face frames you have to allow for a user defined scribe distance. I understand this adds complexity to the code, but thats why we use automation.
