[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Thanks, Jim!

[@robertdemarco7989]

Great video Jeff makes me want to buy a new saw Think I can get one in the garage HA HA

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Without a doubt!!!

[@williamellis8993]

Those are really neat, Jeff. There has to be a specific need for buying one in order to justify the expense. Yours was the right price lol. Bill

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Thanks, Bill!

So far, how has the Striebig changed your shop? Has it been a game changer? It was cool that Cameron was able to run it with only about 45 minutes of training, and double cool that you won it. Keep up the great work. I enjoy this channel!

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

It’s been a total game-changer. Takes up so much less room vs our slider, easier to run physically, and parts are far more accurate.

5 year's from now assuming you get a CNC you'll look back with nostalgia and say remember when we use to go to the Stribig booth. Let's stop in and say hi.

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

I think you’d be surprised to know how many shops run CNC routers as well as vertical panel saws like a Striebig or beam saws.

[@chrisgardner3606]

@@TodaysCraftsmen Well I was one of those shops 20 years ago and the Streibig sat against the wall taking up space believe it or not, never getting used. The safety can't be beat. Used to let my 8 year old use it. Kept it for a couple of years thinking it would come in handy, never didl. Can't equate a Stiebig and a beam saw. Two different animals.

Not sure on that.... depends on the size of shop. I know I can break out a custom kitchen in my shop on a Martin slider faster and with last waste than a CNC... way faster. Thats including line boring on my old school Blum minipress. Depending on the size and product output of the shop I would take a vertical saw before a CNC. Not only are CNC's expensive to purchase they are expensive to operate, a full time programmer who just stands there watching the machine work, that's for large shops only. I think the biggest downfall of the vertical saw is how easy they get knocked out of alignment and that's why they collect dust, one idiot drops a panel on it in multi-person shop and then the problems start.

@@tableshaper4076 I don't want to start a war but here goes. Jeff is talking about spending 200k . Not a toy. That machine should cut a 4x8 sheet of cab ply in 5-8 minutes. That's Iine boring, hing plate holes, drawer guide holes, predrilled for fasters, jointry for faster stronger assemble, kick notching and 10 other things I'm forgetting in 5- minutes. Sorry my man you ain't beating that! Gonna take you longer to move your parts from the saw to the boring machine. You've got Martin so you must be good or rich but your fooling yourself if you think your gonna beat a quality CNC. As for down time for an operator, barely enough time to label, and put them on a cart. Half the time the machine beats me. I forgot about waste, you've seen nesting on a sheet? Your also not beating that on a slider.

[@tableshaper4076]

@@chrisgardner3606 As I said... it depends on the size of shop. My Martin was under 100 grand, I will beat a 100.000 CNC setup hands down. You are talking a million dollar setup with loaders and panel movers who cut the same thing over and over again, you win on that layout. That kind of shop is 1 in a 100 or 1000. A custom kitchen shop with 6-10 employees should have a slider or vertical before a CNC without a doubt. And waste, I get 4 upper 12" gables or 2 24" base gables out of melamine, a 1/2" CNC bit ain't doing that. Then you have the spoil boards and/or tabs or moving around vacuum pads ect. All fine for the big boys but we all don't want to be that, no joy in that kind of environment.

It's a lot different than the one that I ran. It was brand new, i worked for a company called Ralsco Kitchens Brockton Massachusetts in 1984

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Technology has come a long way!

[@413DaveRN]

Think I'll strap my track saw to the wall and pretend it's a Striebig. I don't think I could sneak the real thing past my wife into my shop!

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

😂😂😂 just say you got a good deal!

[@pwarelis]

"very simple to use" is relative. an overgrown calculator at the front is very intimidating for most people. why don't you get a web dev or a ui dev to help you with making this user friendly if it's digital as you claim. just sayin'

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Are you referring to the ACS on the 5x15 Compact? If keying in your dimensions is intimidating maybe you’re not the right guy to run the saw…

[@pwarelis]

@@TodaysCraftsmen ok, that's fair

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

It’s much more repeatable (and easy,) than moving a stop by hand.
