Dude you are the first person that actually posts a video cutting 4x8 sheets did everything lined up correctly and how how long does it take to change the tools over the whole cut ?
So I'm cheating a little here, as I'm really just cutting two 4x4 sheets that happen to be a 4x8. I just cut one end then rotate it around and cut the other. I'm not doing any tiling, I bought a 4x8 machine to do my big stuff. This works for all the cabinets except the tall pantry ones. Tool changes aren't that bad now that I have the bit setter as I don't need to reset or zero out my bit each change.
I've thought about this for prototyping and doing low-volume doors. For carcasses I can put together a 5x10 machine for just a little more than the Foreman and it'll go much much faster - I just don't have the room for such a machine - but you do. :)
I literally just got off the phone with both mozaiks and onefinity trying to figure out if you can use the cabinet software with this machine. Any issues? How did you make it happen? Mozaiks doesnt list the onefinity as having a program for??
@@jasonnoble2194 I had to add tool change commands so it would support generating a single file per sheet. All the settings for bit setter are on the masso controller.
@@xeontis I see. I been out of the cnc world for about 4 years, and decided to get back into it ... some of this stuff as far as understanding it is above my paygrade ... lol. I would assume Id have to do the same thing if going the onefinity route...
Can you give us an idea of how long it takes to cut one sheet or half sheet? Of course it will vary based on number of parts but an average maybe? Thanks.
Yes, good question. I just ran a half sheet with 8 parts that took about 27 minutes including bit change. Now that I have enough parts cut I can edge band and assemble cabinets while parts for the next batch are being cut.

Can you give more information about the toolsetter you made. Link all the parts you used
I just put a link in the description.

Space is already tight with this table. But yeah I may be looking at an upgrade at some point.
You glossed over the most important part: are you able to align a 4x8 sheet on a 4x4 table, and cut a 7 foot part?
Yes, it can be tiled but I haven't progressed that far yet. I'll definitely do a video on it once I need to do it.

Works just fine, I can share my post processor if you want. I modified the one I got from Mozaik to support tool changes with a bit setter.
@@xeontis that would be awesome man. You modified it because you moved the location of the bit setter?
