    why did you need to flip the board for the dado cuts? could you place the plywood face down, cut the dados. then cut the parts out?

    Quick question... why did you not cut the face frame out with the cnc?

    • @asador7922
      @asador7922 5 місяців тому

      For me, practicality, waste, and time; it’s considerably easier to cut face frame parts out with a table saw and miter saw than CNC. The reason is the cabinet parts are cut from plywood, which is easy to hold down with a vacuum pump system that holds the parts in place as you cut. I use poplar or cypress for the the face frame parts, which are usually 1” x 6” x 8’. Smaller parts like this are harder told down during the cut, you will have a lot of waste, and it’s just not time efficient. With that said, Mozaik will give you a cut list for the face frame parts, which are dead on accurate. With my work flow, I can cut, pocket (Castle) screw, assemble, glue, attach a face frame this size in about 15 minutes, in addition to the 20-25 minutes or so it will take me to assemble the cabinet box.

    Shopsabre tech support is goated. I've never had any problems reaching out to them over the years and they've always gotten to the bottom of the issues. The fact that it's lifetime is such a valuable asset as well. Only two negatives that I can think of: the dust dock is booty. I've ruined many of them by having a thin strand of MDF or wood grtting trapped between the magnets during a tool change. They should seriously consider switching to n52 or larger neodymiums. The second thing is the tool height touch off probe, it can be somewhat innacurate at times.

    • @alecasone
      @alecasone 7 місяців тому

      I'd also like to add that the little 220v vacuum system you've got definitely will burn through the motors. If you ever have one give out I've got the model number and supplier of the motor it's self. It's an easy change, all you need is some rivets and high heat silicon caulking. You can pry off the old flange connector and just attach it to the new motor. They're like 175$. Will save a couple grand in 5 years.

    There are so many lessons to learn here. I agree a properly set up table saw can buzz out the front/back/bottoms quickly, with little waste. I learned that lesson when making a resaw jig for the bandsaw. Set up the dado and cut multiple pieces that are accurately aligned and the exact same fit. I see you opted for the Shopsaber, I can really only do 4x4 in my basement shop. I went with the OneFinety Elite Foreman with 2.2 Kw (3 hp) spindle and ATC. You are running Mozaik software. I am afraid I can’t justify the cost, I am running FreeCad, and may just have to write a cabinet design program. ( I am a retired Mechanical Engineer/Software developer) So, Erie Insurance? Are you anywhere near Erie, I grew up in the Erie area.

    • @mywoodworkinglife
      @mywoodworkinglife 7 місяців тому

      Lots of lessons learned on this one. I like the ShopSabre, when it’s time to upgrade or add another one, likely reevaluate what’s in the market again. Mozaik is good, but only could justify it due to the number of cabinet jobs we do. It’s worth it if you do a decent volume. Not in Erie, a buddy owns a business that makes items with company logos and this was outside of what he normally does so asked me to make the units. We are in Nebraska.

    • @mywoodworkinglife
      @mywoodworkinglife 8 місяців тому

      Very good question. There are parts on the machine that will need to be replaced (bearings/bushings) more often, but overall I’d say 10-15 years before you would need to consider replacing critical parts like the spindle. It also all depends on how much the machine is used. Hope this helps
