Cool,, can't have enough tools.
We got a new Plasma cutter 1 1/4 capacity.

NICE! Need an apprentice? Measure once, cut oops....

Very nice. Do you set up the cutting pattern? Like were to start or is that done by the computer? The reason I ask is the place it started cutting and the general pattern of cutting didn't look very human.

Good observation. We do cabinet design with a dedicated CAD software package designed to do just that. For the low, low price of $15,000 it also outputs the programming for the router. Basically, I design it then push the "GO" button and send the job out to the router. It's very integrated for cabinets.

For other stuff, we have yet another software package, a more general CAD/CAM program that I can use to design single parts, signs......rifle stocks.

I don't know what everyone is getting for Christmas yet, but I know how I'm going to make it.

Here's a computer rendering generated by the software of the kitchen we just cut.

Nice new toy you got there. That looks like fun.

Looks like a product I once worked for called Kitchen CAD? or CAD Kit?

I might be in touch for getting a smaller kitchen done too.

This one is CabinetWare, but they all put out a similar final product in terms of appearance.

We'd be honored to give you a quote if and when the time comes.

Your kitchen was the last one we cut the old way. Took us 48 hours of labor to get the parts to the same level of completion as the router. The router would have done it in 4. When I see how well this thing works, I kick myself for the ten years I've been doing it the hard way.

10 years of developing your ability as a craftsman is what tells you how useful this machine is.

Almost anyone with very little training can grill a burger, but it takes years of practice to become a chef.
