Stretcher and Fix shelf questions
Post by Scooter on Nov 8^th, 2013, 5:44pm

I'm in training mode and double checking measurements before actually putting the program to use and cutting materials. I created a 60" cabinet for training purposes.
Box material is 3/4. Zero scribe both left and right.

First Question: I notice the screw strip is the correct length but the stretchers are not. I'm assuming that the program is picking up a 3/8 dado depth. I don't dado stretchers so is there a way to change it for the stretchers to make them the same length as the screw strip?

Question 2: I notice a deduct for the shelves but in many cases I use fixed shelves with a dado. Is there a way to lengthen the shelf for dado application?

Thanks

Box parts for sample

1 - 23 x 59 1/4 unit# 1 Plywood Bottom
1 - 23 x 35 1/2 unit# 1 Plywood Right_side
1 - 23 x 35 1/2 unit# 1 Plywood Left_side
1 - 22 1/8 x 58 3/8 unit# 1 Plywood Shelf
1 - 4 x 60 unit# 1 Plywood Toe_kick
2 - 3 x 59 1/4 unit# 1 Plywood Stretcher
1 - 3 x 58 1/2 unit# 1 Plywood Screw_strip

1) The next update for the program will have parts size adjustments which will work for this.

2) You can enter a negative value in the "deduct for shelf width" to increase the shelf length.

That update will be great! I tried adding a negative value but to no avail. The syntax I used was -.75, is this correct?

Thanks so much for the quick response.

Make sure you press the 'save and apply to current job' button.

Just checked and "-.75" works.
