Lets face it, if a few woodworkers within your area had this type of machine what is the consumer going to like. I would much rather see someone spend that type of money on a set of carving tools and lessons. If you have enough mechanical dexterity to wood turn or cut joints then why wouldn't you have enough dexterity to carve. If you really wanted to learn to carve then I do believe that it is a skill that can be developed just like any other woodworking skill. There is no doubt that this type of machine has it's place in a commercial setting, however I don't believe that a home woodworker requires this type of machine.Īlso the comment about not being able to carve I believe is a bit of a cop out. If it was a CNC machine that required you to write the programing for it to operate, I can understand that, as it is a skill that can be developed. What I have a problem with is this type of machine requires very little skill at all to use. I have no problems with technology changes otherwise I wouldn't own any woodworking machines at all and I wouldn't work in a metal machining workshop that utilises top of the line CNC machines. If you buy it and flog the results off as 'handmade', that is a whole other kettle of fish. I you buy the CarveWright to help in your business, that is prudent, if you buy it to make some nice things for your family and friend, isn't that fine? If you buy it and call yourself a woodworker or carver, that is just self deception. I was once at a meeting about setting up a new woodworking workshop/club where I made the suggestion that a chisel morticer would be a good investment to help quickly get some benches made, when some w**nker shouted me down that this is not the done thing, one must cut M&T joints by hand, he went on to add some drivell about being wood machinists, not wood workers. Or even earlier when those using iron tools complained about the advantages of steel or when those using bronze tools complained about iron, or when those using stone tools lamented the loss of flint napping methods to bronze. Probably goes back to the industrial revolution and when the luddites resisted mechanisation. Just point, click and create.It's the age old argument isn't it. Optional add-on apps can enhance your capabilities, while the CarveWright Pattern Depot gives you access to over 7,000 patterns and projects to download.
#CARVEWRIGHT MACHINE PLUS#
With the included easy-to-use drag-and-drop software, plus the automated setup features built into the CarveWright CX, you can easily create stunning carving projects in very little time. Unlike many CNCs, the spindle is also built into the machine, meaning you don't have to purchase a separate router. Instead of requiring a space-hogging bed and gantry to accommodate large workpieces, the CarveWright features a precision conveyor that moves the workpiece itself past the cutting spindle along the long axis. Thanks to the CarveWright's unique conveyor belt system, the machine can accept workpieces up to 12 feet long, despite having a footprint the size of an ordinary planer. A CNC with both large capacity and a small footprint seems like an impossible dream, but the CarveWright CX makes that dream come true.
