Cabinet Maker
For cabinet makers
Cut it once, cut it right.
The jobs that cost you are the ones needing a second pass — taping a cut line, planing an edge to fit, scribing a panel that chipped, rolling edge tape on by hand in a finished kitchen.
saved per day over ten laminate panel cuts at $80/hr. About seventy minutes back, and most of it is what the approach removes rather than what it speeds up: no scribing, no planing the edge, no trip back to the workshop to cut.
Where the seventy minutes comes from
| What changes | Per panel |
|---|---|
| Cutting without scribing or planing the edge | 5 mins |
| Set-up, with no straight edge to clamp or offset to mark | reduced |
| Faster cut, better result off the saw | reduced |
| Clean-up across the day | 20 mins |
| Across ten panels at $80/hr | 70 mins · $93 |
Scenario: 10 panels at $80/hr. A scoring saw severs the surface layer before the main blade goes through, so both faces come off clean.
The other jobs it pays for
$216
Shark-nose edges
Over 20 edges at $65/hr. Two minutes an edge on a KA 65 against twelve spraying contact, waiting, rolling and cleaning the excess off a face that will show under finish.
$54
Tapered infills
Per day over 10 infills at $65/hr. Cut the taper on the rail rather than ripping parallel and planing a narrow strip down to a line by eye.
$194
Internal radius banding
Over 20 shelves. Three minutes a corner against twelve by hand, with nothing to clean off afterwards because the glue goes on in the same pass.
