Pretty cool! Way out of my budget but real neat. Maybe something that LHR might take a crack at, someday?63320

Had the pleasure to see it work. Pretty impressive. A very niche market though. I can't imagine a need for it myself.

It is a cool item. I can think of a two or three useful applications - like carving a design into an existing hardwood floor, tabletop surface, wall or whatever. But, I'm still waiting for the ultimate epiphany. My "idea breakthrough" hasn't happened yet.

If its legit it is way cool. I have been looking at a bigger model, they are around 6-8 thousand. I contacted company, forum for owners only but no post on it. It was set up friday. He did not give me any contact number for owners. Just their number. They must be just getting started. I wish someone on here knew this machine. I want to hit the buy button!!!

Looks cool, but the old saying comes to mind, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". Also, I would want to know about the support. Our CarveWright forum is awesome. I have been a member of various forums, but have never found a group so willing to help you out not just with opinions, but actually work such as fixing patterns, researching machine issues, etc. I don't know how you put a price on this forum, actually it is Priceless!

Keep in mind the cncmogul uses stepper motors versus the Carvewright's servos. Google "stepper versus servo" if you're not aware of the differences.

That looks to me like a very flimsy frame.

Educate us a bit, Dick. Is one superior to the other?

Depends on the use. In our useage I would say servos are better suited. Stepper motors are slower. They lose torque the faster they spin, so they generally need to move slower. Steppers turn in increments or steps, hence the name. A stepper motor controller sequences current through the motor's coils and the motor turns in fixed increments. There's generally no secondary feedback to indicate how far the motor has actually turned, so stepper systems are generally cheaper. Servos do not lose a lot of torque at speed, so they are generally faster. Ours use optical encoders for feedback, so unless something is broken or dirty the controller knows exactly how far the motor has turned.

Might want to wait a bit. I believe they are upgrading the Gantry to a sturdier version.

No one is really selling those yet ... there will be one at the Cnc Jamboree. Come check it out. www.CncJamboree.com
