Hi AL - I don't think the project is scaling in any way as the board is very much oversized to allow it to carve while staying under the rollers. I wasn't aware of the space bar requirement but will...

Thanks for your response. I double-checked the bit selection to be sure the pattern and machine matched and they do but the results are very poor. The design shows good separation of the lettering...

Friends,

I've been trying to carve a small desk sign using Centerline Text and while the design will look fine on screen when I carve the pattern the letters tend to run together and the cut is...

As is so often the case I think I spoke too soon! I tried to run this exact same file again today and DISASTER! For some unknown reason, after routing the outline correctly the machine attempted to...

Well, I've been very busy working on other projects but finally had a chance to get back to this. I have to say, the forum members are the best! I really appreciate the help each of you offered and...

Since replacing the two cover switches and adding a Ringneck Blues dust collection adapter my machine has been running much more reliably and I'm finally getting consistent results. I'm still...

I'd love to just unplug the old switch and plug the new one in but the cover switch on the left has small tabs that are soldered to the wires so I'll have to wire it in so I preserve some of the wire...

First, I'd like to thank everyone that responded to my call for help. This forum is by far the best part of owning one of these machines as there's always a willing body of fellow owners to help...

Despite my best efforts my machine continues to give me fits. After running for a while I started getting "Cover Open" error messages. I checked the switch and wiring and found no visible issues so...

Well, this has become a most interesting thread! The forum members have been amazingly helpful to me and I deeply appreciate the community that exists around this machine. And I know that LHR...

This is an excellent question and not nosy or rude at all. I bought the CarveWright several years ago and have made good use of it even if it's been quite a temperamental machine. I don't own a...

I have just about had it with this machine! It's not that it's necessarily a bad machine, it's just that I can't seem to do anything with it without having to go through troubleshooting,...

Well, I'm back again with another question! You forum members have been very good to me with your help and advice and I've run into another question about the operation of the software and machine...

Unknowncarver - thanks for your reply to my thread and for noticing the very small areas of wood left after carving. This was actually intentional as I didn't want to carve off the end of the board...

Thanks for your reply to my question. While this would certainly work with the carving and finished project it makes it very difficult to visualize the design. As you'll see in the MPC I attached...

I have a design that I'd need to carve with a flat bottom straight 1/4" bit but no such entry exists in the standard bit library. Is it possible to add this bit to the library so that the machine...

First, I'd like to thank everyone who replied to my thread. This forum is an absolute wonder and one of the best features of owning a CarveWright/CompuCarve machine. The level of support one...

Eddie - PM sent and THANKS for your help!

First, thanks for your reply. The probe would be an ideal solution but I don't have one so it's not an option. I assume that a scan of this type would be relatively easy for the probe, essentially...

I'm slowly learning how to work with various patterns and graphics files with my CompuCarve but I keep running into issues I can't seem to address even after searching the forum and a number of...

First, thanks to Deolman for the info regarding jpegs. I really do need to learn more about the graphics formats and how to manipulate them before/after importing.

Second, thanks to DickB for the...

Ken,

Thanks! The logo and added features look GREAT! Unfortunately, when I try to copy any elements from the mpc and use them in my project I seem to lose the "resolution" of the design. Keep...

First, thanks for all the assistance and sorry for my delayed response. I had to get my youngest son off to college and am just now getting back to work on this project. I'm also attempting to...

I'm working on a project and am having quite a bit of difficulty getting the finished design to match what I have in mind. I'm hoping all of you forum members can help me figure out how to...

THANKS EVERYONE! With your help and expert advice I was able to complete my project. I ended up using a combination of the suggestions above to process the plastic with no issues and the CW cutting...
