Rapid Case Construction through Dowelling

Session Code: SA80

Track: Techniques & Applications

Speaker: Rob Howell, SCM Group

Most shops have implemented a CNC machine for nesting.  As a result, more cabinetmakers are moving from screws, dados or KD fasteners to dowel and case clamp construction.  Using traditional methods, the average cabinet takes 3-5 minutes to build, and quality is left in the hands of the assembler.  Employing the latest in machine technology, build time can be compressed to one minute or less and quality is a function of engineering and the equipment.  This equates to huge labor savings and throughput gains.  This seminar is targeted to woodworking professionals interested in learning how to utilize nesting to switch to dowel construction and increase profits by using the latest technology in cabinet construction. Attendees will learn how they can improve finished product quality, decrease costs, compress build time and remove drawer and door adjustment in the shop.
