Cutting Cabinets on a CNC Router

2 08 2008

Hello everyone. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about a fantastic product, which I feel very privileged to be involved with — CAMaster cobra CNC router. This machine can be used for a lot of different purposes in the field of manufacturing.  But, I would like to focus on one specific niche that this CNC router is filling right now — computerized cabinetmaking.

The process of computerized cabinetmaking goes by several different names.  Some people call it nested-based manufacturing.  Some people call it screen-to-machine production. Really, it’s all of these things.  The basic concept is this: you design a room, including all the cabinets shelves.  Everything in three dimensions.  Then, you pitch it to the customer.  If the customer likes it, and he likes the pricing which you generated from the automatically generated cut lists, then you press a button, and the machine cuts out all the parts.  All that’s left to do after that is to assemble the cabinets.

You can learn more about CNC cabinet manufacturing with CNC routers at www.cnccabinets.com . also, there is a wide array of very educational videos there to inform you about the process, how it works, what type of return on investment you can expect, and other important factors.

Rushing Headlong Into the Linux World

21 09 2007

A couple years ago, I tinkered with the Linux OS, but for one purpose only, and it turned out to be way more effort to learn than I was willing to put in at the time. The last few days I have really been amazed to see how far things have come.

The last couple days, I have been using a Linux distribution called Ubuntu. I find it every bit as good as, if not better than, any Windows OS thus far. I am only inches away from migrating to Linux completely!





Linux on a USB Drive?

21 09 2007

Well, today I decided to learn a little about Linux. I don’t know exactly where to begin, so, I searched google for the term “linux”. Sounds logical, huh? Let’s see where that gets me…

Well, I came across linux.com. Once there, I started reading about some of the different linux distributions. What I found really interested me, a particular Linux distribution called DSL (Damn Small Linux). DSL is a linux distribution which is small enough to fit on a business card sized CD, and run on a machine as small as a 486 with 16Mb of RAM. This interests me because I think it would be cool to set up a Linux system to boot from a USB drive.

As it turns out, you can even run DamnSmallLinux (DSL) from within Microsoft Windows using a type of virtual machine. This is a good way to check out DSL without a large investment of time and energy.
