View The NorthWoods CNC Machine in Action

Give us your eCabinet or AutoCAD file – or even a hand sketch – and we’ll prepare it for machining. With our state-of-the-art CNC machining, we work with tolerances and utilize joinery techniques that are simply not possible with conventional machining.

CNC machining also offers the precision required to ensure your products fit together perfectly, with all adjustable shelf and hardware holes, drawer slides, and hinge holes already in place. After machining, parts are labeled with the part name, cabinet number, and job name.

For those projects that require edge banding, our in-house service allows us to supply parts that are completed and ready to assemble. We’ll save you time and money by applying PVC or wood veneer edge banding – from .018″ to 3mm – to your parts in-house.

 

Quick turn production

Cabinet component machining is two weeks or less from order to delivery.  We will deliver cabinet components, edge banded, drilled for the hardware, and ready to assemble directly to your door

Wide range of materials

We work with a wide range of materials, including melamine, plywood, solid wood, Corian© and other plastics.

Your Files or ours

We can accept your eCabs, DXF, DWG, or KCDW files ready to machine, or if you prefer simply supply us with your cabinet drawings and we will prepare them for machining.

what our customers are saying…

Jorge Oliveira, President, B.O.H. Interiors

“I want to express our deep satisfaction for the way your company handled our order for machining kitchen parts. Your support, from the layout of the parts in AutoCAD to the quick turnaround and delivery and the perfection of machining, demonstrates the degree of responsibility that you and your team put toward all your services. Many projects will follow, and be assured that we will be employing your services to take them to the level of quality that our customers request. It was a pleasure working with you.”

Matthew Fauller, President, Fauller Woodworking & Restoration, Inc.

“I made the switch to NorthWoods after using a similar company for years. There are many reasons for this, but mainly it is because of their attention to detail. Every job is reviewed: questions are asked, details are clarified and sometimes mistakes are found. This gives us the security that our products will have consistent quality control. Over the years, we have developed a great working relationship with NorthWoods. So much so that I often feel they are not a separate business but a division within my corporation. There is no doubt that NorthWoods Manufacturing has been a factor in the continuous growth of my business, and will continue to be so for years to come.”

David Beaulieu, Beaulieu Cabinetry

“We are a modest shop, a little old school. We are not automated in any way. As a result, we used to process materials the old-fashioned way. That is not a bad thing all of the time, but when there is a better way to accomplish something without compromising quality, why not go after it? My favorite part about working with Bill and his team is their willingness to be supportive of us and our business. Regardless of the request, they are 100% behind us. Bill is a “cards on the table” kind of person. He is always willing to advise on manufacturing and materials, plus he is a team player. He understands what it’s like operating a small shop and is there to help in any way he can.”
