This looks like a very easy way to make a raised panel door Would you share or sell me the file you created the file you did to make the Door. I also use the vectric software. also could the file you made be resized to make different size doors.? Thanks Jeff Peters

[@jwar2163]

Did you use a solid piece of hardwood? Or did you do multiple glue up to get to the rough size then mill the board(s) down? Curious because my experience is that large single boards have a tendency to warp and crack over time opposed to glue up for raised panels. I just purchased a Longmill MK2 and I am hoping to one day use my cnc for cabinetry.

[@TradeSkillersAnonymous]

Hey there! The larger cabinet doors were glue ups of 3” stock. The three small drawer fronts which were about 6” tall, 6” wide were one piece of stock. Due to their small dimensions I think they’ll be fine. These were all made with quarter sawn white oak, which is less prone to movement.

Hi Andrew DAgostino , Thanks for taking the time to view, and comment I really do appreciate it. By using a small enough tapered end mill, the corners came out sharp enough for my needs.

Very interesting using the molding toolpath. I've just learned how to Vcarve an MDF cabinet door, using a 90°V bit for the "rails and stiles", and a 120°V bit for the "panel". The advantage of this is getting as close to sharp inside corners as possible.

[@TradeSkillersAnonymous]

Hi Richie, short answer is the method I used doesn’t produce true sharp inside corners. Long answer is, I used a 1/16 tapered ball nose from cadencemfgdesign (Cody’s cnc on Facebook). Because the bit is such a small radius, they appear very close to sharp

Like the concept and with quartersawn white oat you likely have the stability but as a purist I would have used this for the panel and still made rails and styles on the table saw

[@TradeSkillersAnonymous]

Hey there, definitely more than one way to skin that cat! I’m hoping that because I ripped the oak into 3” wide strips and glued up, and that qtr sawn is much more stable than flat sawn that I won’t have any issues. Thanks for watching!

[@carlslater7492]

Interesting comment ... "purist" ... I might say "traditionalist" .... he did say in the beginning of the video he wanted a consistent grain direction as a design feature, he would lose that in the traditional build. I would also think his door would be stronger than the traditional build because it has longer and likely fewer joints ( yes I agree traditional has been strong enough) .... Let's just say this is something I struggle with "traditional" vs "new fangled". What I would be interested in is time to create for the different methods.... that is the deciding factor for me..oh and chance of me doing an "ah crap" moment

[@michaela4141]

Great video! I do have a few questions.. On the large door say the profile size used in the moulding is 2" wide x .5" height. That looks great. Now on the drawer fronts; A) what did you use for the inward offset? and B) what is the width and height of the moulding profile? I tried a 1" offset, and changed the moulding profile to 1'' x .5''. That just looked a little weird to me. I then tried 1" x .25" that looks a little better on the drawer fronts. I'm curious what your offset and profile sizes are.

[@TradeSkillersAnonymous]

Hi Michael A , Thanks for taking the time to view, and comment I really do appreciate it. So, it really depends on the overall size of the drawer or cabinet door you are working on. It completely depends on the look youre going for and the aesthetics relating to proportion. In the video, Im really showing an example, and not the actual door because it didn't dawn on me to cover this in a video until I was at the end of this project. In the example, I used a (roughly appropriate size) cabinet door with 2" stile and rail appearance. In that example, I used a 2" profile just to have some symmetry in the design. These can be ANY size you want them to be. Some may prefer a beefier stile and rail look, while others may need to slim that down. If you look closely at the doors versus the drawer fronts, they do not have the same width stile and rail because in the case of the much smaller drawer fronts, a 2" design would've been too heavy for the size of the drawer fronts. At the end of the day, if it looks good to you (and or the customer), then it's a success. If you haven't had a chance yet, and are willing, I'd love to ask you to subscribe in order to help me get the word out to more people who might be interested. Thanks again and have a great day!

[@michaela4141]

@@TradeSkillersAnonymous thank you for the quick reply. Yeah, I was asking how much smaller you went with on the stiles and rails for the drawers. And how deep? 2" is definitely too heavy.

Thanks again for the very good content.

[@TradeSkillersAnonymous]

Hi John, glad you’re liking the videos. I did look at step craft, and like the other competitors compared both component quality, and cost. Now, I’m recalling from memory, but I’m certain that a similar equipped and sized CNC from step craft was about $2000 more than the onefinity. Also, I wasn’t a fan of the aluminum extrusion, compared to the onefinity hardened and chromed 37 and 50mm shafts. It’s been a great addition to my shop, and I also have a onefinity review video on my channel if you like. I mainly wanted to avoid belts, and v wheels found on a good number of machines. (Stepcraft doest use belts in fairness). At the end of my research, the quality components vs cost is why I chose onefinity. It’s not disappointed me at all, and I’m glad I did it. I’m sure the other machines are also fine, not knocking anyone at all. No matter which you choose, I hope you enjoy it!

Very good content! What I am curious about is how does the door retain its shape over time, given the fact that a traditional raised panel door has a glued up frame, made out of 4 elements? I know that a simple wood panel that is carved on one face, doesn t retain its shape because one side has more open grain surface than the other. It is a matter of concern on this particular project?

[@TradeSkillersAnonymous]

Good question! It was a concern when doing it. I was delivering the piece 1200 miles away so I delayed delivery for two weeks once I was finished with exactly this on my mind. The doors stayed flat and I’ve followed up afterwards and it seems they have remained flat.
