Others never buy the new model that first year, preferring to wait until all the bugs have been worked out. Many people like to be first to have the new-model car as soon as it comes out. So you might be wondering, is it as cool as it looks? You bet! But it is not without issues. We decided to take a chance and try this new technology out. Coincidentally, just as Sears began carrying the CarveWright CompuCarve, my employer was in need of a large number of carved appliqués for a major kitchen build. At around $2,000, it seemed too good to be true. So earlier this year, I was very interested to learn of LHR Technologies’ CarveWright CNC Carving Machine. I’ve programmed, run, sold and serviced them. I’ve been working with Computerized woodworking machines (known generically as CNCs) since the mid-1980s. There, you now have everything I know about it.This little machine still has its new-kid-on-the-block quirks, but its cost-to-capability ratio is quite impressive. I did find an excellent buy on eBay from a shipping company that had one that was refused for delivery, but I was timid about warranty issues. They appear to have a very friendly, helpful and informative users group for howto's and sharing designs.Įach time I've looked at it, there have been enough detractors to make me hold off for another 6 months.
It's right up my alley though, as a merging of the computer and woodworking is pretty cool. Keep it clean and dust free, updated the firmware when you can and cross your fingers.
Another incidence of this sort of thing.īased on my reading, the single best virtue to have with it, is patience. Carvewright won't ship to Canada and Sears doesn't carry it in Canada.
We can't get it in Canuckistan, anyway, Bob. Many happy customers, many unhappy customers.
The second most notable is the need for excellent customer service. The most notable tidbit is their excellent customer service. I've looked at this machine a couple of times.
