Thanks for the "250 hours rule" I am adopting it today! Whoops, I am up to 278 hours since the last brushes installed. I am on it!

I just replaced my flexshaft which lasted 19 months! I run my CW everyday, five days a week so I think this is outstanding. Flexshafts used to melt down every three months or faster leaving me...

Greetings all. Today, I am throwing out all of the custom made sleds that have accumulated since getting my first CarveWright in 2012. They aren't needed. The Universal Carrier takes care of all of...

My friend John Young, aka "Canemaker" down in Shreveport, could use that "What goes in the Garage, Stays in the Garage!" Great sign!

I think that CarveWright is shooting itself in the foot by NOT attending woodworking shows! Not even the one in Pasadena!
To me, this lack of marketing will be the death of a nice machine.
Where...

I have sent unreturned, un-acknowledged, emails to Ron for more than a year. I do know that his webpage is active but there isn't anyone following up on it. You can get wonderful bits from ebay.com...

I was getting grooves in wood. Not your regular, light, machining grooves but regular "furrows!" Okay, I exaggerate a little ... but every inch or so, I was getting a deeper groove than the rest of...

Thanks! I can put up with the 3 bobs and the little extra time.
Now, how about some of that stair tread tape on the bottom side of the sled on the brass roller side? Has anyone tried it and if so,...

It seems to me that when measuring the board, the controller side of the sled is always going to be considered as part of the board width. Therefore, to my way of thinking, it is better to read the...

Here is a look at a cribbage board I am currently making for a client who is getting married in Maui. I have left the "Decorate with Text" visible so that you can see how I use it. After all of the...

Hi Bert, I make a lot of cribbage boards that do not have "regular" lines of holes. They curve in and out and around. So our buddy Connie suggested this and it really works! Using the spline, arc,...

I purchase magnets from K & J Magnets to hold the cover on a peg cavity on the back of my cribbage boards. You can buy magnets in bulk and a huge variety of sizes here:...

I have designed two cribbage boards that do not lend themselves to a keyhole slot in either a x or y (0 or 90 degree) axis. I want to be able to hang them on a wall but would like to be able to vary...

I feel ridiculous asking this as it is pretty basic and I'm sure that I'm off base but here goes ... is the "conform" box checked in project designer?

Wouldn't it be great if you could see a list of bits used on a project before uploading it.
And I would like an auto-save feature. I have had a lot of shut downs and have lost hours of design work....

I think that you could use text in PhotoShop and shape it however you want. Rasterize it and save it with a transparent background as a .PNG file Then import as you would any graphic or photo and...

I really like Windows 10. No problems with Designer (3) or any of my other software programs including my collection of aging Adobe programs.

I will be trying this trick. Thanks for posting. My method for skirting the problem inherent in Centerline Text has been to swap bits ... I use a short 60 V bit during the measuring stage of the...

I had no problems at all Clint. No problems with Designer or Sculptor or any of the other programs that I own. It all loaded seamlessly and operates beautifully. And as stated, I like it much better...

Windows 10, I like it. It is a return to a simpler desktop and for me, increased functionality. No problems with Designer (version 3) Sculptor or any of my licensed programs thus far. As far as using...

Thanks for the reminder that we have an incredible maching tool at our disposal. These caps look perfect!

BEAUTIFUL sign professor! And I appreciate your firming up the "No" response to the jig question. Some things we learn by trial and error, and error, and error ... so having another like minded...

Thanks. This is good validation of what I am experiencing and the exact information that makes this forum valuable.

I did do this very thing and it saved ... wait for it ... 20 seconds on a 3 1/2 hour carve. I thought that the time savings would be a lot ore dramatic! LHR engineers are looking at it too. It is a...

I have 5 signs to make with raster letters. The signs are entirely carved with the standard 1/16" ballnose bit. The carves are a little over 3 1/2 hours each on best setting. Have any of you used a...
