All aspects of the building process are critical and combine together to produce cabinetry that is exceptional in fit, finish, function, beauty and durabilty. The first step in transforming rough lumber into a beautifully finished hardwood surface is the planing process.

DBC utilizes an Oliver Model 4470 for its planing operations. This state-of-the-art machine employs Digital Thickness Controller and a Powered Table Travel for precision planing. The cutter head with 86 helical knives provides the smoothest surface possible from a planer.

Another technological advantage employed by DBC is a Selco beam saw for material sizing of plywood. This computer-controlled machine is capable of cutting up 2-3/4" of material, which enables us to cut 3 sheets of 3/4", 5 sheets of 1/2" or 11 sheets of 1/4" plywood simultaneously to precise dimensions for consistency and a perfect fit every time. Additionally, the software which drives the Selco beam saw utilizes an optimization program which translates to less waste, driving down production costs. This, combined with savings in labor costs, allows DBC to provide very competitive pricing.

Perhaps the biggest weapon in the DBC arsenal of technological tools is our Busellato Jet 200 CNC Router.

This state-of-the-art milling machine features a 16HP HSK electrospindle, a drill head with 19 vertical and 8 horizontal spindles, a 15 position rotary tool changer and grooving saw. With a total load and unload cycle time of under 30 seconds, the Busellato enables quick and accurate milling of material on a consistent basis.

The Busellato utilizes nested-based machine design and is controlled by Genesis Evolution Software. Genesis Evolution and JetNest combined with an Excel spreadsheet allows DBC to create our nested jobs quickly and efficiently.

This cabinet side was milled in a fraction of the time it would have taken using conventional shop tools. Cut-out, line boring, drilling, routing and dadoing are all accomplished in a single operation.

The pieces on this cart represent the material for nine office wall cabinets.

The time needed to produce these parts using conventional methods would represent a substantial cost in labor. With CNC technology, that time is reduced dramatically with an assurance of accuracy, precise duplication of parts and the added benefit of reduced exposure to safety hazards for shop employees. All of these benefits translate to unrivaled perfection in fit and finish of the end product and savings in cost which are then passed on to the consumer.
