Greg81 Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 I plan to make kitchen cabinet doors and the widest width wood I'll be working with is 14 inches. So far I've determined that I'll need a jointer, a planer, a table saw and a drill press. Am I missing anything? Also, can any recommend a planer and a jointer? I'll be making a low volume of doors per year. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William R Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Perhaps a router and table and raised panel bits or a shaper with cutters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 What style doors? Probably the majority of cabinet makers these days buy ready made doors because they can't approach making them as cheaply as they can buy them made to their specifications. Here is one example of many: https://cabinetdoor.store/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 Cabinet doors really benefit from sanding after assembly, a drum sander (or wide belt sander for higher volume) might be worth adding to the list. If you are doing thus commercially, go wide on the jointer. Hobbyists can afford the extra time to use planer jugs & such, to get by with a narrow jointer, or none at all.

curlyoak Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 to get a shop full of tools worth while will cost thousands. Unless you had orders for a lot of doors, have them made for a lot less money. If you intend to learn woodworking it might eventually pay off. Unless you loose interest and the tools sit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
