When you buy the probe, you get Pattern Editor as well. That combination will give you so much added ability as you work with new items you scan or import (not the patterns made by others).
Scanning with the probe will take longer than the carve you will make from the scan. The length of time will depend upon the size being scanned. I always use the "BEST" setting as I scan. You will get an estimated time as you select that option. I'm currently doing a scan 4 by 8, which will take about 4 hours and 20 minutes. I've done some scans which took over 20 hours.
The rotary jig is super, if and when you decide to work with that type of carve. It's not rocket science, but you have to understand the special concepts. You will also be advised to make a dust box like the one Ed Baker has spoken of. The chips and dust will pile up under the dowel, if there is no collector.
Scanning on the jig requires some forethought, so the piece stay stable in the jig.

Here is the rotary scan I'm working on. I'll do one more proof on Wednesday 3/7/2012, before I submit it to the Pattern depot.

Looks like a good one Bud!!!
Bud, that will be a nice rotary pattern.
Here is the Rotary pattern I tested 3/10/2012. My model is in the center. The pattern will be in the store 3/12/2012.
The standary pattern of the same piece is in the store titled as "Jesus Suffered for Us".

Nice carve Bud!! I really like your detail.
Bud,
Good looking pattern! Does any of the pattern wrap around to the back of the round?
