We are constantly adding new features and abilities to the Award-Winning Cut Ready Cut Center. Our latest update now gives you:
The ability to create stair stringers and free-standing stairs
Merge materials for a more efficient nest
Specify whether your material is sheet stock or board stock (with a whole host of options for each type)
Add sheets as off-fall even if they weren't created from the Cut Center
Resize the height on face frame base cabinets (while maintaining proper drawer front heights).
Stair Stringers
The Cut Center now has the ability to create Stair Stringers, and free-standing stairs.
Merge Materials
This ability originated with the stair stringers development (you can nest treads, risers or stringers out of the same material, providing a more efficient nest), and this solution was so useful that it was implemented throughtout the entire system.
New Material Properties
We’ve updated the materials page to allow the user to specify whether their material is Sheet Stock or Board Stock (which affects direction of cut, feed speeds, and cut depths). This allows you to make Solid Wood Drawer Boxes.
You can also specify if your material has identical sides (such as premium plywood), or if they are different (such as melamine that has 2 colors). In the melamine scenario, the Cut Center will maintain all of one color to the inside of the cabinets.
For users who do not use material with grain (melamine, mdf, etc.), you can now turn grain off, resulting in a more efficient nest.
Add Off-Fall Sheets not created in Cut Ready
Prior to this update, you could only add off-fall created from previous jobs by using a barcode and scanner. This update allows you to add rectangular off-fall that was not created from the Cut Ready system, and use it just like you would regular off-fall.
Resize the Height on Frace Frame Base Cabinets
We now allow users to change the height of Face Frame Base Cabinets while maintaining proper Drawer Front Heights.

We recently held our 2016 Dealer Conference at our headquarters in Dale, IN. The purpose of this annual event is to get all of our domestic and international dealers together in round-table informative sessions to discuss sales strategies and also to present the exciting changes and new products we plan to release in the next year.
Of course, the conference isn't all work and no play! It also gives everyone a chance to socialize and catch up on news, as well as the opportunity to award our top sellers special prizes at the awards dinner.
This year, our top dealership was Automation Associates, Inc. Second and third places went to Tech Con and S.K.F. Enterprises. The award for the dealership with the Most Improved Sales for 2015 went to Cam Automatizacion. The award for top International Sales went to Carbon Studio/AP Group, LLC out of Russia. Congratulations, guys!

The Thermwood Multi-Purpose Five Axis Series are all great machines for trimming formed parts,patterns and moldsusing five-axis simultaneous motions, but you may be wondering which one would work best for your specific application?
To help you decide, we'll focus on comparing the Model 67 and Model 90 below. These heavy-duty moving-table machines are ideal for high-speed trimming and pattern machining, and come in either single or dual table configurations:
Multi-Purpose 67
The Multi-Purpose 67is an entry-level five axis specifically developed for three-dimensional machining, available with a variety of either single or dual moving aluminum table sizes.
Available Features:
Single table sizes from 5'x5' to 10'x5' or dual table sizes from 5'x5' to 5'x12'
The Multi-Purpose 90 is a heavy-duty five-axis designed for high-speed trimming and pattern machining, available in single or dual moving aluminum tables. It is capable of full five axis simultaneous motions with extremely fast accelerations.
The Thermwood Cut Ready Cut Center is an exciting alternative to traditional CNC routers for making a wide variety of products including cabinets, closets, furniture, doors, drawers and much more. Just tell the machine what you what to make and it does it...it is that simple! NOprogramming is required.
Other CNC Routers - Lots of Programming Required
Every CNC router, regardless of price, has one thing in common..it must be programmed. You willneed a CNC programmer. A typical CNC programmer will cost you more each month than the payment on a Thermwood Cut Center, which does notneed CNC programs or CNC programmer
So, even if a machine was FREE, it would still cost you more than a Thermwood Cut Center, and in a few years the Cut Center payments go away while your programmer costs most likely will go up.
"Maybe I'll Just Program it Myself..."
Good luck! CNC routers require a constant stream of programs to run. Solving problems, like damaged or scrapped parts or defects in material means even more CNC programs. Programming custom cabinets on a CNC router is a full time job….good thing you have nothing else to do!
And then there’s software. Cheap cabinet software is limited and difficult. It takes more time which means more money. Really good software can cost as much, or more than your cheap router.
And there’s scrap. You will have one or more partial sheets left from each job. Regardless of what they tell you, it is so difficult, complex and expensive to add this to new jobs that virtually everyone just throws it away. With the Cut Center, you just scan the label on any extra material lying around and it is added to the job, automatically. This can mean a lot of money saved at the end of the year.
Thermwood Cut Center - Get Into Production Quickly
Also, it is likely you will be in full production with a Thermwood Cut Center in about a half a day. A CNC router can take as much as six months to program and get to that point. A half a day or a half a year? There is serious cost associated with that half a year.
Other CNC Routers - Not So Cheap After All
When you consider everything, a cheap router isn’t so cheap after all. In fact, to match a Thermwood Cut Center they would have to pay YOU to use their router.
Instead of looking for the cheapest possible CNC router, do this thing right, get a Thermwood Cut Center….your life will be better and you will make more money.
What our Cut Center Customers Think...
More about the Thermwood Cut Center:
Operate as a Cut Center with No Programming
With the award-winning Thermwood Cut Center, there are no computers or design software. Everything is already in the machine. There is no programming. The cut center doesn’t need a computer to tell it how to move because it already knows how to make cabinets. Just tell it what you want to make, and it does it - it is that simple!
Operate as a CNC Router
Also, you can operate the system as a CNC router in the traditional manner, running programs generated with virtually any CNC software. Thermwood has created a simple way to switch between operating as a CNC router and operating as a Cut Center to assure that all machine parameters are properly reset and that the standard Cut Center tooling is properly installed, checked and ready to run.

The Thermwood AutoProcessor is a high-speed, automatic load/unload, heavy-duty three-axis CNC routing system for nested based feed through machining. Available in a variety of machine table sizes, it is used in nested based production of cabinets, closets and custom furniture.
How it Works:
With each cycle, the machine simultaneously labels one sheet while positioning and machining the other sheet. It then off-loads the finished parts while loading the next sheet and repeats the process. Dust collection during this process keeps scrap and debris to a minimum.Labels help the operator to quickly sort the parts, and Assembly Marks help final assembly happen quickly and easily.
