The base isn't actually broken. The bolt holes that hold it together are cracked and do not keep the bolts tight and the head pressure is too loose.

I have a A Model Craftsman Compucarve that needs some work to get it working properly again. The head pressure won't stay adjusted because the bolt holes in the base are cracked keeping the bolts...
Try Sears. They have a lot of parts for the Compucarve which is what they called it when Sears sold it.
In his video, he routes the channel with a router table. Not much advantage in a CNC because the pieces would have to be done individually, then glued in layers to form the channel. You could cut...
Nice job Oscar!!! The box they are sitting on is also very beautiful.
Great Idea! I have thought about layered carvings before but the Claw Foot on a table leg is a perfect use for it. With a lathe, you could clean up the legs to look like the real thing. Keep up the...
Thank you guys for the help. I know he is going to love it.
Wow! That looks great too! I will try it and see how it looks.
Ok Thanks for the help I will try it and see how it looks.
I am making a Cribbage Board for a WWII Vet that was in the 75th Infantry Division. I am trying to recreate the 75th patch as a pattern and then I can apply it to the carve on the top of the board. I...
My "A" Machine carves them fine. I have carved around 30 Cribbage Boards of different sizes and sell them. Sometimes if the holes are spaced closely it will drill them too close together. I had a...
Wow. Thank You! You guys are awesome!!!
Does anyone know what this plastic part is, and where it attaches. I have been unable to find out what it is for, and where it came from. I found it in the bottom of my A Machine.
Thanks

The rails are clean and lubed, the bearings are clean and also lubed. The truck moves all the way to the end, and the bit plate protrudes correctly. With the power off, the truck moves up and down by...
I have begun to have a problem with my machine where the bit does not travel all the way down to the bit plate. If I help it along, it will travel all the way down and touch correctly. I can feel...
Thank you for the info. This will really save me a lot of time. I will try it on the next carve.
I am carving several projects that use numerous bits. Each one requires numerous bit changes during the initial setup that is time consuming. What I am hearing in your post is that I can use the...
What do you mean by the last measurement of the Cutting Bit? Do you mean it would use a measurement stored previously for the Cutting Bit on a past project?
I had the same problem quite a while ago, and bypassed the switch while I waited for a new one to arrive. I decided to keep the switch bypassed after I received the replacement because I can keep the...
Forest Blades are excellent quality but are very expensive. I have been told that if you purchase Home Depot Brand Blades, you can return them to the store for sharpening. I currently use Dewalt...

My carvewright directory has several entries for favorites? I have favorites, favorites2, favorites22981, and favorites2298129356. When I look at my patterns in the designer I also have favorites, 2...
I did the same thing, and already had the bolt with two washers.
