Did you place the Memory Card in the PC and activate it, after you loaded the CD and did those steps?

Welcome aboard!

Have you checked the contrast adjustment? It is the small dial at the bottom of the keypad...

Happy Carving,

I am a new user and I have some questions. What woods provide the best results? I have tested in Red Oak, Aspen and Pine but don't think they have a good enough result for final pieces. Are the pattern probe and Pattern Editor software worth the money? I tried to convert a picture using the designer software and did not get a good result. I sure hope the $350 I am spending for the probe and Pattern Editor software gets it done.

I just got off the Sear site, I think I would like to buy one but wow the people that wrote reviews were not very kind to this tool.

Have they took care of some of the problems they had?

Thanks for the input.

Try Amazon if you haven't already purchased one. I got a good deal with accessories, within about a week. I've haven't set up yet, still working on the new shop, so I can't give you a review yet.

what means error z axis stall when you put the machine with a project for the moment stop with this error message.

carlos,

I think it indicates that the Z motor found it hard to make the Z-truck/bit move either up or down. This could happen from something being on the rollers or tracks, or chips in the cogs or belt that moves the Z-truck up and down.

Noticed the Thread, probably not the right place for either the question or my response!

Hi Guys

I don't yet own a CW

I wanted to ask a basic question. I'm pretty sure that the answer is no. But there's no harm in asking. Can the carvewright actually cut out shapes? i.e I want to make an oval or a triangle. Will it do that? Or is it just for surface carving only?

Many thanks
