The machine started with 2½ inch wide stock of the appropriate length. A profile was machined, then the ends were trimmed at 45° with mortise and tenons.

Yeah, way to go, Bob.

Oh, play with the math $2.35 an hour. I came up with lease payments of $70,000 over three years.

your "Bob" is a slacker, this monster can allegedly do 100 doors per hour

Through independent rails, Bacci MasterPro produces 800 doors per shift | Woodworking Network

what would be interesting is the number of people it requires to keep it fed and to take away the finished doors.

also, how big a spray booth do you need to finish 800 doors per 8 hour shift?

Watch the link richmond posted and you'll see, but that one does 2250 per HOUR

The spray booth itself doesn't need to be that big, the doors are conveyor fed through it. If they use UV cured finishes they'll be dry in under 2 minutes. But when you look at big operators like Wren Kitchens which I mentioned, their custom made paint line is 230 metres long.

As for CNC technologies being for larger shops, Holzher have this 3 man workshop as a customer in Germany - https://www.holzher.com.au/en/refere...df4d4f3cfdfe85

800 doors per hour... how many can you sale per hour? need a very good sales technique and strategy. probably endup spending more in hiring the right guys that does the right sales.

It's 800 doors pr 8 hour shift.
Would come in handy if you were making kitchens for Ikea.
