While waiting for the CNC to be installed, the first few kitchens were cut on a panel saw. Hardeep says the panel saw is hardly used at all now with their cutting and drilling being processed on the Format-4 CNC. They construct their cabinets with a mortice and tenon join which speeds up assembly and results in a strong cabinet.
