Looking for more info
On page 4 of Tips, Common Questions and Answers - Part 1
Of CarveWrightTips&Tricks_Oct08.pdf
There is a reference to “(See the Jan. ‘07 issue of Tips & Tricks)”

How or were can I get a copy of this and other TIPS&TRICKS that I can not see on the web site?


Thank You

:lmao:

I have worked here for over a year and have actually read that article about a dozen times and have never noticed that!

As far as I know, there is not a Jan. 07 issue. The "Tips and Tricks" didn't start until Oct. 07.

I think they were trying to point to Jan '08.
Right side of page #1.

Everything was carved and cutout from a
pine board that measured:
28” Long x 11.25” Wide x 0.75” thick
These dimensions allow for the extra 7”
added to the layout so that the board will
be kept captive by the rollers during the
entire carving and cutout procedures. This
is very important. See the Dec. ‘07 issue of
TiPS & TRiCKS for details on the
recommended project setup procedures.

Hi Alex,
Met one of your co-workers in Zanesville, Ohio over the weekend. He was in doing the live demo for the Lowes store there. Great guy and I learned a whole lot talking to him. He gave me some great tips.

Take care
Jeff

7" extra === a another question. The more I read the More ??'s I have

Sorry

Bevel and Miter Cuts
Bevel cuts are cut at an angle across the thickness of the workpiece. A
typical bevel cut application would be seen in making small boxes where
the corners are formed by two 45-degree bevel cuts. Miter cuts are cut at
an angle across the width of a workpiece. A typical application would be a
picture frame. Once the Miter shortcut key is pressed user will be
prompted to choose either the Bevel or Miter type of cut and then the
desired angle. For bevel cuts there will also be the option to Cross or Rip
depending on what edge will be beveled. A Cross bevel will ALWAYS be
applied to the left end of the board and a Rip bevel will ALWAYS be
applied to the far side of the board as explained in Figure 14. Finally,
there will be a prompt to insert a 1/4” Ball Nose bit (not included) for bevel
cuts or a 1/8” Cutting bit (included) for a miter cut.

Routing an Edge
The Edge Rout function allows the user to rout the edges of a rectangular
board with a shaped bit. Various decorative edge effects can be
achieved, depending on the available bit selection. The user will be
prompted to select the edges to rout. Choices include: an End, an Edge,
or All Edges. If Edge is selected the rout will ALWAYS be applied to the
far side of the board and if End is selected the rout will ALWAYS be
applied to the left end of the board as explained in Figure 14. Finally,
there will be a prompt to select a bit from the selection menu. After the
first rout operation the LCD will ask if the depth is OK.


Question's:
When a Bevel cuts or end Routing are cut at an angle across the thickness of the work piece. What happens the extra 3 ½” of the actual project board?

"There will be a prompt to insert a 1/4” Ball Nose bit (not included) for bevel cuts."
How good is the Bevel cut when making a small box? A 45-degree cut with a ball bit ------ is there a demo on this?

Sorry for all the questions. But the more I read the more ???’s

back to the extra 7", what happens if the edge routing options is used?

Thank You

Thank you to all!

two 1/2 more weeks before my CW will be put to work!!!

When bevel cutting it does not stay undr the rollers, it goe's to the edge of the board.
It cuts back and forth going deeper as it gets closer to the edge. Use a scrap piece first.
If you have a miter saw thats a lot better , but the bevel does work. It starts just a little from the end, goes pretty deep , then starts again at the inside edge of bevel going back and forth cutting the bevel. Make sure your bit is set in adapter long enough to cut though your wood. probably 3/4" to 7/8". Bevels can only be done at 45 deg.
For the miter cuts across the width , any angle can be cut but it uses the 1/8" bit and cuts straight down a little at a time. No compound miters.
All commands are made on the keypad.
If you want just your designer board edge routed , you can either use the same size board that is in designer, or just make a rectangle and aply a bit to the box you want routed.
