Box Gadget

Post by CNCDRP »

Hello All

First time logging in here and posting as I need help and a total neebie to the CNC. I have a project making some laundry room cabinets and want to use the box gadget, Going to be using hardwood panels that I glue up opposed to a sheet good. So can one just pick one side of the box at a time to cut and make the material size my glued up panel? Just check what side you need in the gadget? Hope this makes sense. It has side 1&2 and end 1&2. Does anyone know what end or side is what? Is 1 the left side and 2 the right? Same for the end is one the front and 2 the back? Also I will be using undermount Blum drawer slides which require some math to get them to work correctly. Thanks for any guidance you can give me.

IT looks like I can do it that way after playing around with it. The problem i see is that o just want the ends done not the bottom as i will just cut a slot for the 1/4" panel to fit in. IS there a way for the box gadget just to cut the ends and not the bottom? thanks

The gadget creates all six faces of the box (5 for no lid). But, you can choose which of those are cut by editing the toolpath and selecting those items on the CutOut layer that you need:

I did just pick the one side but didn't want the bottom cut. How do I edit the tool path? Sorry I'm super rookie here. So my side needs to be 21" long and 4" high with just the fingers on the end. I did read some where their is another gadget for making drawers? Thanks
