Why?

China- cheaper more mass producible usually of a higher standard but oh no our American jobs

Nice work guys. I have a N-500 and work with Woodwop. can you tell me about Homag N-500 post processor to use in Alphacam? I can't find it anywhere.

What system/software do you use for the barcode scanning?

Show it?

I prefer a 5/8 bottom on my drawers.

Also do the same for your house.👍🏝️🇨🇦

Adequate protection is when it is done in several stages. From the main board with a protector to drain the higher surges and then on the machines for a lower surge level, even up to an additional one dedicated to the machine's computer system downstream of the surge protection on the machine you have installed Even a welding machine within the company can generate a surge that can damage digital equipment on the same line. Saludos Gerardo

I'm sorry Ty, that sucks bad. Are there options out there for installing surge protection at the main breaker instead of individual machines?

This definitely resonates with us. We are in Florida and we get nasty lightning power surges and momentary outages. We park and shut down our CNC lathe when we get these storm cells pass overhead. Definitely no threading if we hear thunder nearby. We have a surge protector for the panel for our entire shop, so far have not had any issues except momentary power interruptions.

how to turn on CNC simulator 3d?

Would you still go with Homag or try a cheaper option like Felder.

So woodwop isn't on the same level as cabinetvision

So you are still using dowels and camlock joinery?

Who is buying all of your cabinets & doors? I watched your big shop tour, and you said residential and commercial. How do you keep that size shop fed?

How much did the new machine cost?

What thickness do you use for sides?

Other than machines, can you share step-by-step videos how to build a furniture using these machines (from cnc nesting flat table till finish product)…i love your videos, very useful and inspiring :))

No one will ever tell you the price. Even if you asked how much did you pay for it? They will never answer.

Good for us old timers 😂😂

Audio only coming from right side

Thanks for this. We are a tiny but growing shop and have been considering this for the two reasons you mentioned. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

Now I’d like to see Evan run a door 😉

Amazing shop

Why is it called lean Brothers if it's always just one guy talking about his shop?

I'm revisiting this video to say i have adopted your philosophy into my small shop. That being, "Fix what bugs you and one small improvement every day." Thanks for the tour....again! Michael

No mdf doors with laminate?

Oh boy. So informative. Oh boy.

Are you only running 1/4" ply panels? What do you do when you need a hardwood panel?

is there a reason you dont run the entire 8' or 10' lengths through the unique, and then cut them to size? Haver you thought of getting a second Shape and Sand for squaring them after they're built?

I just got a quote from one of the supposed best Chinese CNC companies (Quick CNC), and it came to about $19k. That’s for a brand name Italian HSD spindle, Yaskawa servos, Hiwin rails, Becker vacuum pump too, 12 tool atc, syntec controller, heavy 8mm frame, etc. On paper it’s a pretty top tier spec, and at 18k, that’s like 10% of the cost of a Homag. Is it as good as a Homag? Definitely not. But it is seemingly amazing value? Yeah. The problem I encountered shopping for a Chinese CNC is just the sheer amount of options you have on a site like Alibaba. There’s hundreds of options and most of them are a bad idea to buy. You really need to spend time researching and contacting companies for more info. Quick, OMNI and StyleCNC all seem like pretty good Chinese options

If running solid maple do you order them in; or just don’t offer as an option?

Do you ever work with traditional plywood and face frame construction or is it only particleboard/mdf and edge banding?

Onsrud for the win.

Always appreciate the videos.👍🏝️🇨🇦

Hey guys I've been binging your content and I absolutely love it. Keep it going! I have a very specific question about how you handle one piece flow that I am hoping to get some guidance in, because I would love to streamline my shop to as close to a one piece flow model as possible. How do you handle a cabinet that has multiple colours of edgebanding when doing one piece flow like in the video? We are a custom shop and colour matched edgebanding on the faces of our boxes is standard. When we are a white melamine box with white doors/drawers, we can get away with just using an international white edge or equivalent. But we mix custom box colours as well. so it is not uncommon that I am running say a charcoal box or a tafisa karisma wood grain tfl, with a matching banding colour for the internal components / bottom of uppers, plus a solid colour for the faces. I know of two logical solutions, but neither will work for me - 1. Dont do colour matched banding to the doors/drawers, just match the boxes 2. Set up a second edgebander I'm curious how you handle this? Thanks boys, keep crushing it!

Mic is not clear Thanks

By not finishing the raw ends you allow moisture to invade the end grain thus swelling the joints and insuring failure...substandard product

I like my wood just like my women. Baltic. Sanded. Shaved. Lightly stained.

Gotta be honest i thought it was gimmicky when i first saw it a year ago

Do you have an edge sander?

Do customers bring up the roundedness of the dovetails?

Great video! would like to know if you will be making a video on how you setup and use your asana system to work with your system, it sounds like a lot of tasks and it would be great to know how you organize them! thanks for sharing!

What an innovative team - amazing job ! We love your videos, maybe you would want to look into adding one of our robotic arms to your shop. It would be great to collaborate 😃 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4DbnJ58fL18Zsk

The device to check the squareness on the doors and floating shelves is quite interesting. Is there any such thing for double checking cabinets? Size and squareness?

I can tell you that I am definitely going to hack together something like this over my work table now. Nice work all around!

Just found your videos. Amazing work guys. Really helpfull for the beginners in the business. Thank you.

are you a stiles employee?

Hi Tyler love the videos, I currently run the larger horizontal machine (bhx500) but am thinking about getting one of these for a different line because of the foot print. Stiles can give me a time study but I want to know real world times. What do you think processing time is for a side (wall, base, and tall) with a cut out for the toe.
