packs of bases prior to hanging doors
and installing hardware. ? Do you
chuckle watching them try to join
square panels without a corner clamp
,watching pieces topple over on each
other as they haplessly try to hold
everything together without any clamps ?
For over 40 years, cabinet companies
have been assembling base boxes the
same way over and over and over again
thinking that adding a CNC is the solution
to speed in cutting parts. Yes, a CNC is
fast, but what about assembly on site...you
haven't addressed that, its like making
a sandwich but forgetting the meat inside
the bread or bun. CNC's are great at automating
one thing only and that is tracing parts outlines,
it does not pick up a drill or clamp or hand
assemble anything at all. Cut parts are
great, but just like Chrysler or Chevy, the
car still has to be assembled by a human being.
A real cabinetmaker or wood carpenter
always must innovate to learn best methods
for assembly, doesn't matter if its a cabinet
box, door or simple wall frame.
So that being said,
What if you could cut the installation time on
new bases and cabinetry by 75% and
reduce cost by over 50%.? What if it
were stronger and less prone to racking ?
What if it were cheaper ? What if its
tolerances and accuracy for square
was down to the thousandth ? And...
what if it was at least 20-30% faster than
traditional case clamping on site or in-shop ?
It's less expensive than traditional joinery,
It's far stronger,
It's less prone to racking and damage being shipped,
It's more accurate than bases and cross joins cut
on a CNC router prone to autospindle downshear
force chipping...
And it's faster....we guarantee we can assemble or
you can assemble our pre-engineered bases in
minutes, rather than hours.
We have done it.!!!..our new Channel Link
Technology is similar to Trex decking in that
all joinery can be now assembled without
damaging the wood surface panels and bases.
no more dowel headed screws, no more
pan head screws that split bases or those
crazy dowel plug insert bore hole screws.
The Channel Link joinery is also capable
of accepting the heavier 1- 1/2" granite top
weight that is becoming the norm standard for
countertops. Slap the heaviest top on you
can, it'll accept the weight easily !
Channel Linked Technology by ColorScapes
Cabinetry may be the lower cost,faster answer to
that kitchen of your's that needs all new
bases, drawers, and doors.
No more waiting for Direct Buy, Kraftmaid, or Schuler
to respond to your order (11-16 weeks is common !)
I used to work with a fearless business executive who's
motto was " INNOVATE or DIE", which essentially
means if you are not improving your process continually
you will go the way of the dinosaurs. I read alot
of Jack Welch and Harvey McKay books on business
and providing service to grow a business and that
message is always loud and clear.
