The only upgrade to the machine is the addition of the dust collector attachment as noted in my original post.

I guess I should have put in a price on this thing. Think I am losing my mind in my old age. Would like to get $500.00 plus shipping. I think that is a fair and reasonable price. Sorry for the...

Check your message box...I left you a PM there.

I have come to a place where it is necessary to sell my carving machine. Below is a list of particulars:

Thanks for sharing Chris. I mostly use CorelDraw, but I am sure the steps would be quite similiar. I would love to see a copy of the tutorial if you get it done.

After many months of sending my machine back to Sears, getting it back, sending it, getting it back, sending it, getting it back...I AM CARVING!! I can't begin to tell ya'll how good that feels....

I am another user who would REALLY like to see more about this system. Please provide us with some specs!! Thanks.

That stuff look pretty cool. I checked their site and they don't sell it in Florida. Bummer!

Went to your page and looked at the pics. Great work. The split musta broke your heart, but I see that you got it re-done. How long did it take to get it finished?? I have never really wanted to...

Great job on the carve!!
I can't even begin to tell you how many times I have carved that pattern. Everyone love it!

Get in touch with liquidguitars. He can help you with any questions you may have with carving guitars.

By adding a little spacing between the letters and adding some draft, you should avoid the chip-out problem. I also lowered the height of the letters from 100 to 50. Height of 75 should also work. ...

That looks interesting John. I have Corel CS5 and will be looking into it. Thanks for sharing.

Nice work. And thanks for posting the site. I went there and Immediately registered. I have d/l a lot of files from the gallery, but this is easier to see them.

I worked in a sign shop for quite some time, and I can tell you that plexiglass comes in any number of colors. Another source for corian is places where they make corian counters and sinks. The...

I want to upgrade my machine and get rid of the QC. I have seen a LOT of posts about the Rock and some about the Carvetight. Does anyone have some information about the differences in them and what...

Where did ya get that set of knives?? Looks like it would be handy for a lot of different things.

That looks really nice Jerry. After seeing how well it came out, I got the ptn too...think it has some great possibilities.

Well, my reply went to the wrong place!! Or, truth be told, I clicked...

Great job Steve. I am surprised to see this is your first post after having your machine for so long. The forums are a great place for info and ideas. Keep up the good work!!

4 votes to see the tools as well. Great job on the box. Welcome to the forum. You will find lots of ideas and plenty of help here.

And the same to you Dan. And to all my friends and fellow carvers, my your holiday season be the best ever!

I would stick with the bandsaw or a tablesaw. You run a risk of breaking bits cutting the board down to size in the machine. And, it is MUCH faster using the tablesaw or bandsaw.

well, saw a coupon for a General Machinery 2 HP Industrial DC at Harbor Freight in a magazine I just got. Lists for $250, but only $140 with the coupon. Called the local store and they actually had...

I would like to know what kind of dust collectors folks are using with their machines. I know a shop vac won't do the job. I want to buy a DC, but am not sure what will work best for me. Thanks...

Sure wish I had seen this post as soon as it was posted...boxxed the machine up and sent it back to Sears. Hope they get it fixed. Thanks Doug.
