    Other than a Cracked base unit, everything is replaceable... And Epoxy can do wonders for a cracked base.... and a Cracked Cut Motor Nose too...

    Every time you start a project you risk the power going out and the project stopping.... We have learned the tricks... Zero Carve areas over the already cut area.... So with every Trip up we encounter.... We find new ways to fix things...

    So my take on buying a refurbished machine for a GREAT savings might be worth the risk. Depends on your level of comfort fixing the machine.

    I was a NewB once... I broke bearing screws, Striped the Square Drive in the Truck, Broke Square Drive Bits.... Broke X Gears, had the head un-level, ripped sand paper belts and had a flex shaft smoking black hot..... Everything was FIX - Able..... It's only PARTS.....

    As Clint would say..... "Do you feel Lucky?"......

    AL
    Favorite Saying.... "It's ALL About the Brass Roller"..... And "Use MASKING TAPE" for board skipping in the X or breaking bits.

    Four Sears CarveWright Machines and looking for more....

    Looking to buy Broken Machines to add to my collection.

    I’m so excited! My new CW is suppose to be delivered tomorrow (if I can believe the FedEx tracking info). I’ve been reading the owners manual on line and following the CW forum for info and playing with the design software. I have a spot all picked out for it. I will be taking the first day to check it all over. I have the lube for the flex shaft and an RC ready to install. I started making a DC for it and as soon as I have the machine to finish fitting the DC I am going to get it finished and installed. Here’s to many hopefully trouble free hours of carving. Wish me luck!
