We felt that several important issues have been raised in this thread. Please read http://www.carvewright.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8090
A problem was reported in the thread, <http://www.carvewright.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8013>, where a board caught was reported to have caught fire. We have discovered that this problem was caused...
We would like to clear up some confusion on the maximum depths allowed for certain bits (specifically the carving and cutting bits). The maximum cut depth as stated in the Operator's manual is 1"...
Please check to make sure that each bit adapter is free from damage or surface defect on the tapered mating surface each use before inserting them into the quick change. These defects include rust,...
LHR has found that sandpaper belt roll-up occurs when the head loading drops below 60 lbs as determined by our scale test. The optimum pressure is 80 lbs. The head load, as dictated by the clutch,...
We want to clarify the technical reasons for installing the new flat flexible cable (FFC) and connector boards as discussed in several forum posts. Due to firmware changes that make the homing sensor...

The CarveWright can work in most soft materials including all woods (including exotic hardwoods), plastic, and foam. Suitable plastics are polycarbonate or cast acrylic. For reference, the picture...
We have found that hard materials with tight grains produce the best finishes. In most cases, feathering and chip out will increase as the grain size increases. Also dry materials tend to produce a...
The machine can handle a workpiece up to 14.5” wide x 5.0” tall and 12’ long. The maximum length in most cases is dependent on the weight of the workpiece and is related to both quality of the...
The minimum acceptable size of a workpiece that can be inserted into the CarveWright is 1.5” wide x 0.5” thick x 7.0” long. It will be necessary to mount the workpiece onto a jig if any single...
The maximum depth of cut is 1.0”.
Like a printer, projects can be configured to run in a draft mode (low quality), normal quality, or best quality depending on the situation. The quality mode dictates the speed of the cut and amount...
The carving time of each project is determined by four main variables: the size of the project, the quality setting selected, the depth of cut, and the cutting mode. Like a printer, the user can...
The CarveWright is designed as a light duty machine intended primarily for the hobby market and is priced accordingly. It is not suggested for continuous commercial or industrial use. There are...
The machine has a standard library of approved bits that it can draw from. We strongly recommend that CarveWright brand bits be used for best quality results because of the significant dimensional...
The 1/16” carving bit is solid carbide and will last for many hours if treated correctly. Cutting in materials with glue (such as plywood or particle board) will tend to wear the bit faster. The...
The software will allow the user to create projects that use as many of the CarveWright approved bits as desired. On projects that use more than one bit, the machine will prompt the user for each...
It depends on what functions are being commanded. Some functions require certain bits while other functions can use any one of many user selectable bits.
The CarveWright does not currently have the capability to fully carve in the round. We have designed connections into the machine for a 4th axis accessory that will allow full 3-D carving.
The CarveWright software enables you to place designs on both sides of the workpiece. Many times the design will require a special jig in order to carve on both sides because of the way the machine...
The software does not yet support automatically seaming two pieces together. However, the machine has the precision to output multiple pieces that will line up well when seamed together if the...
The software automatically adds small tabs that bridge to any pieces that are cut out using the “Cut Out” function. These tabs keep the pieces from dropping out and binding the system or cutting...
