Interesting concept - Cut Ready

Interesting concept, from a business standpoint the claim of basically select and cut without overhead of programming / design is attractive. But I really like how they don't come out and give you a price for it :)

You beat me to it! yeah that is nice but i think it is like the lamborghini salesman will tell you...."if you have to ask how much it is, you probably can't afford it!:eek:

Yeah, I can't afford it :)

As the site says "A cut center can be leased for about the same hourly cost as one average emloyee" so what would an average employee make... I figure $12 an hour? So that would be $480 a week, $5760 a month, or $24960 a year. Over five years about $125000

So all you cabinet guys, how many cabs would you have to sell to justify those costs??

While I find the concept interesting (expensive or not), it also means you got to live with the pre-programmed templates. But then you can go to Home Depot and order it from the catalog as well? I thought what really pays in that business is the more custom and creative stuff?

[myxpykalix]

yes you probably have to live with the preprogrammed templates but if you have a thousand combinations don't you think you'd have whatever you need to make your customers happy?
I think it really boils down to how much time will it save? How much employee labor expense? Then compare it to the cost and i bet it works out to cost more in the long run. I can never justify an ongoing cost for tools, if i can pay for it outright then i don't need it, because then you are a slave to the bank to just keep it paid...not much sense in that to me unless you have enough business to justify it.:eek:

I had a good read through when I got the email and my main thought was that I could see the point for a new cabinet shop starting out but for any existing one I would have though they would already have put the time into building an automated library so why pay someone else a premium for doing the same job?

A Carvewright on steroids.
