thanks for the info ......

Can you send a link to the supplier of the sander?

Yea, what machine do you use to make them ?

Since this is an Q-n-A vid. I would like to ask if you would mind showing how you apply lean techniques to the management side of your business. More specifically the PM side. Thanks!

Education never comes cheap. 😳🤦🏼‍♂️

Question Boss, how do you transact the inventory out of your system?

Hi, thanks for amazing videos, have been amazingly inspiring for me. Do you mind sharing how many kVAs is your electric transformer and how many hp is your screw compressor? Thanks again

great info ............ i wish you talk mor on the sticker bar system you use ? thankx

this channel is a gold mine for cabinet shop owner ......... thanks

Do you make the drawers on the nesting cnc?

And I work for Festool.😂😂

Only thing is, a lot of kitchens walls and corners are not square.

Here in Jerusalem most of the big sellers on Alibaba have an exclusive distributor that offers warranty and service. Just like the big names. There's one cnc machine with 15 tools and a line boring head for 35k

Personally I went for the Biesse entry level, got a jade/skipper when I started, then bought the KFT for nesting a bit later on, and I didn't have to pay crazy amounts on them, reliable brand with good service even tho i'm in europe so it's easier, i'd say if you don't have the money for the big high-end machines, go for the entry level of reliable european brands, Biesse/Homag/SCM/Holz-Her, don't know much about US brands tho. But yeah definitely go for top brands or you'll cry without the service, cause those things break down.

China is pro "right to repair", because either you fix it yourself, or throw it out 🤣

And we’re being told Chinese cars are going to take over the world… 🤦 They’re junk and good luck getting them fixed.

Buy once cry once . When it’s going to hold up all of your production. It pays to spend your money on a reliable and serviceable machine.

service, support and software, that's why you don't go Chinese!

Why?

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

Great work guys as always. I followed you for a while and find your jobs and your shop are amazing. I have a N-500 and try to program it with Alphacam but the big issue is postprocessor. can you tell me about Alphacam post processor to work with Woodwop and how you get it? 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
