I also have over 30 years inspecting aircraft parts with CMMs and other instruments. I don't think I need a CMM any more to make parts with the little growling xyz machine called the carvewright. I...

Hi, All,

My 3 year old lap top acts like a Model T, so I built a new computer, my first build since 1995. Remember Win 95? I used it in my sound recording studio back then. New computer cost...

Ken, I can't believe you posted that here. All seriousness aside, my son and I developed a great rapport, building models, electric cars, battery powered gliders, etc. Thanks for reminding me of...

You guys are the greatest. I bought an Alumilite casting kit in case the gun scans scratch..... Haven't tried it out yet. Fortunately, I have an old worthless .38 to practice with. I'll put layout...

Does anybody know if I can scan any of my firearms without marring the finish?? I have the scanning probe, but haven't used it yet.

I appreciate any help.

Leave the snakes alone, just be careful where you walk!! We had a serious bear attack this spring, mauled one child, killed another, was on all the news channels. Just a few miles down the road...

Straighten up, soldier! Nothing silly going on here. You get old, you start to feel inadequate. Hell, you start to slow down. You don't have to make any excuses, be proud of what you were and...

Hey, All,

Sorry I'm so slow in posting, but I've been offline for the last month with dsl and computer problems. Progress comes really slow in this part of the country!

I was amused at Al's...

The American flag has 5 rows of 6 stars and 4 rows of 5 stars.

Happy carving,

Gary

x and y go back and forth. z goes up and down when it works right.

Happy carving,

Gary

BoardSilly,

Thanks for the info on the workings of the probe. I can see how it would work and understand how the software would be the controlling factor.
I find it kind of strange how some...

BoardSilly,

Can you really make your own probe?? I ran a UMM (Universal Measuring Machine) many years ago, before CMM machines were developed. It was all micrometers and dial indicators. The CW...

Anybody ever try using the machine without the belts? Just wondering......

Not trying to be a weisenheimer, but sandpaper rollers may not really be necessary??

Gary

Ken,

I've incorporated the brush into my routine every time I load a new board, after receiving that error message several times. I've not had any problems since. Sorry about your return to...

Back in southern Michigan, hardwood was pretty cheap, with a lot of variety, and many places to buy from, even exotics. Here in Tennessee, without knowing any private sawmill owners, poplar is...

I get all kinds of error messages whenever I try to start a project, but I wipe the board sensor, jiggle the y and z axis, and then the carving always comes out just like I drew it.

Gary

Glad you finally got your machine!! Good luck!!

Gary

If I strap my arm down and run some dye down the cutter, would that be a good tattoo, or would the blood letting be too much? Just wondering.

I couldn't get the machine to do a carving on a 11inchx6 foot board because it always wanted to start the carving near the wrong end of the board. I finally realized I set the end of the carving at...

I wish I knew what the original poster said...

You guys with a modicum crack me up!! Where do I get one?? Is it a dongle I plug into my computer?? Can I put it next to my intarsia without getting interference?? (LOL)

Gary

I've done lots of intarsia. The carve wright can do it, but you'd still have to finish everything up by hand. Not worth the effort, in my opinion..

I've been out of the loop for awhile. I wear a P95DC. I'm going to scan it!

Gary

I got that tonight for the first time, been looking forward to it from what I've read. I haven't updated to the latest software yet (1.120?) I turned the machine off, removed and replaced the card,...

Fishing, shooting, and woodworking are next to Godliness, as those are my pursuits. The only time I would smoke canine fecal matter is if my dog ate my whole stash! Just kidding, I'd let somebody...
