How the UNO2 Works
A simple, repeatable system
The UNO2 simplifies cabinet door production into a fast, consistent workflow.
Instead of moving between multiple machines and constantly resetting tooling, everything is done in one streamlined process.
Three steps to finished door parts
1. Prep your material
Mill your stock slightly oversized to ensure clean, accurate final dimensions.
2. Run the UNO2 system
Process rails and stiles in one continuous workflow — no machine switching or repeated setup.
3. Assemble your doors
All parts come out consistent, parallel, and ready for fast assembly.
Why it works
Every part is machined using the same reference system, which means:
Parts are perfectly consistent
No secondary processing is needed
Setup time is dramatically reduced
Built for real shop conditions
This system was developed in a working cabinet shop to eliminate:
Constant setup changes
Inconsistent results between machines
Time lost moving material around the shop
The result is a process that is faster, simpler, and more reliable.
For shops that want to produce more
The UNO2 is designed for cabinet shops that:
Build doors regularly
Want to increase output without adding labor
Need consistent, repeatable results
Uno2
-
The UNO2 is built around a straightforward principle that keeps every part accurate, repeatable, and perfectly matched.
The Uno Process is built entirely around the 1/8” inch principle.
This is not optional.
The accuracy, speed, and repeatability of the entire system depend on it.
When milling your material, all stock must be 1/8” wider than final size. This must be verified using calipers, not just a tape measure. Precision matters.
-
How the System Works
When running material on the outboard fence, the Uno system uses a specialized tapered fence designed to:
Allow smooth entry of stock
Enable very short material to be safely run with a standard power feed
Maintain consistent pressure and alignment
Once the power feed engages, the stock is pinched before reaching the cutterhead, ensuring accuracy and control—even on short pieces.
Because of this process, your stock must always be milled 1/8” oversized in width.
This is not a suggestion. This is the system.
-
Copes, Tenons, and Door Construction
The 1/8” principle applies to more than just width.
When machining copes and tenons:
You remove 1/8” from each end
A standard 5-piece door has two copes
Therefore, you must add exactly 1/4” to your cope stock length
The cope fence is preset exactly 1/8” over and should never be adjusted unless absolutely necessary.
This fence is secured with:
Six 3/8” bolts per side
Twelve bolts total
This far exceeds standard machining requirements—and that’s intentional.
We overbuild everything to ensure nothing moves.
Because in this system, precision is everything. -
Consistency Across All Machining
The 1/8” principle applies across the entire Uno hub.
On the outboard fence with power feed → 1/8” is removed
On the sliding table for short parts → 1/8” is removed
This ensures:
All parts come out perfectly parallel
All parts are identical in size
No secondary processing is required
Everything is machined to the same tolerance—no exceptions.
-
Why It Works
The Uno system is built around a central machining hub, where:
Long parts and short parts are processed differently
But all cuts are held to the same exact tolerance
Once you understand this, you understand the system.
Everything works in perfect harmony.
-
Workarounds
Yes—there are workarounds for mistakes.
But they are exactly that: workarounds.
They will:
Cost more time
Reduce efficiency
Break the flow of the system
If your goal is to produce professional-grade cabinet doors faster than any competing system, then you follow the 1/8” principle.
-
The Bigger Picture
The Uno system may look simple—but it is the result of:
30+ years of real shop experience
Hundreds (if not thousands) of hours of refinement
This method could have been developed at any time—but it wasn’t.
Until now.

The Future Of Woodworking
The combination of:
The Uno Machining Hub
The 1/8” Inch Principle
…will redefine how woodworking shops operate.
This system will:
Save time
Increase profit
Improve safety
Deliver unmatched accuracy and repeatability
The Uno machining hub combined with the 1/8” inch principle will reinvent the way we work in wood shops around the world. Get in now while you have a chance—these machines are moving fast and will only continue to do so as word gets out.
