JMB's doing all this stuff to his van, buying all these tools in the UK and he's moving to Australia to be a nanny site chippy.  Doesn't make sense to me.  [unsure]

I think they are the same parent company who do Moben kitchens and always sub the work out.

I hear they pay very poor rates and consequently only get fitters that cant get work anywhere else.

I suppose if that is right then the tilers are of a similar breed.

Damn jmb you got a money tree in your back yard!
I did 2 installs for moben worst experience of my working life! They charge the customers ludicrous sums and pay their fitters peanuts, my installs were top notch i struggled to make any money out of my moben fits but i made sure the customers were happy! Never again tho avoid at all costs...
 
Hey JMB,  congrats on your new tow bar  haha!    Tell me how that thing stays locked in the socket.  I can't make out the diagrams in the pictures.  Just curious cause here in the states we have a very caveman yet reliable connection for the hitch. It's just some steel square stock for the hitch and fits into a larger piece of square stock on the tow bar.  The two are  secured together with a steel through pin.  So do tell.  It's cool look'n.  :)

Very simple actually I think.

It has a tapered bar  inside which moves back and forth when I push the lever into the red stone back into the green zone.  Their are 3 balls you can see 2 on top in the picture and 1 underneath.  Well when I push the leaver forward the bar inside moves back and the balls fall down flush.  This then allows me to push the tow bar into place.  Inside the bracket on my can it has a groove for the balls to go into. When I release the lever a spring forces the lever back and the rod forward the rod pushes the balls outwards into the groove.  Their is no way The tow bar could come of now as the Walls can not retract while the bar is behind them pushing them outwards.  It feels very solid no movement at all.

Plus you can see the green section is half way well when fitted the lever only goes part way on the green so it's constantly trying to tighten up while it's on.  It comes with a key so the leaver can not be pushed passed green into to the red area where it would release.

+ auto 0  for tools
+ auto tool change
+ Vacuum base
+ circular saw

This is what I am interested in I spoke to the company the other week

yo Paul

What price are you talking for these?  The MultiCam Nestedbase is about 63 000 I think cnt remember for sure. 

So a much lower price would be GREAT! lol  I want it to make units so holes to be drilled from above and from the side would be nice for easy assembling.

Whats your setup like?  You got any accessories for it?

Cheers

JMB,

If you are making nested cabinets you cannot do horizontal drilling unless you reposition the panels that require horizontal drilling, that causes problems
with repositioning accuracy.  I produce nested cabinets and use Rafix fittings from Hafele that do not require horizontal drilling.
For pricing check the website for their price list, I have a10 x 5 with two spindles and a drilling head, their tool changer is about £10,000  but was not available when I bought mine.

There are about 7000 Shopbots around the World, even people like Boeing use them for cutting components, also the Shopbot support is second to none.

What size of operation do you have (manpower and workshop size)  ?

Any other question , just ask

Paul
