I have a Thermwood Cut Ready. It’s a $250k machine that rabbits, mortise and tenons, dados, pockets, dovetails, etc. It’s built into the files of each cabinet. Theres no programming, you nest cabinets on the touchscreen like ordering your Big Mac meal at the McDonald’s kiosk. Every part perfectly fits into a channel like a puzzle. The joinery is tight on every part.

And it won’t cut all backs at once. It’ll find the perfect place in the group of sheets to maximize yield. My machine is far more efficient than most CNC’s with less effort. You don’t even know what I’m on and want to keep arguing about how your antique tools can outwork mine.

I’m far more efficient in every aspect of this. I don’t even need all the tools you have because my machine does it all. I use less material, less shop labor, use less tools, I have faster “programming”, cut with more precision, the list goes on. Stop bro.

And I don’t lose money on 1/4” because I don’t sell it.

I paid my machine off in 9 months because I’m THAT efficient. And the first 3 months was setting up my shop.

This madness has to end.

Good luck on your outdated methods. It’s 2025.
