Alternative at 30 deg total angle, replaceable knives, etc.: "Cheaper" at about $75 for the holder and a single knife:

Forgot to mention--CarveTight spindle with 1/2->1/4 adapter so I assume any non-solid-carbide tool with a true 1/4" or 1/2" shank will work?
Working with CNSRanch on a project (cutting some nametages into some HDPE ColorCore plastic, blue/white/blue at 0.250" thickness).
The sharpest vee bit he has is the 60 deg (total angle) and also...
Eh, why not? Here's a few:
I was going to be a cardiologist--but I didn't have the heart.
I was going to be a psychiatrist--but I was a-freud.
I was going to be a doctor--but I didn't have...
eelamb, that is absolutely incredible, thank you.
Now to convince cnsranch to let me run some plywood through his machine as a test....
Any updates on this one?
I've found plenty of STL files on www.grabcad.com.
Sir, if you PM me your email address, I can forward the plans for the Flintlock Long Rifle I found on grabcad--may be just what you're looking for.
And a grayscale bitmap, finally:
One more try, thanks for all your patience!
edit: See post #38 for IGS file (3D image I started with.)
eelamb, that's a knurled metal wheel that, when turned, raises and lowers the comb (raised part on the stock). It allows adjustment to fit the shooter's cheek and allow proper alignment with the...
Always happy to be claimed! I do my best to give cnsranch a hard time--easy since he's my "Pa!"
I figure if we ever get this rifle stock carving thing worked out, we could take them and your...
It's an Anschutz model--recently popped up in my mind as a lot of Olympians use it for the biathlon and other shooting sports:

Darn. Conversion of the original (IGS) file to STL must've not worked out. I'll post the IGS in case anyone wants to play with it:

All fixed, sir.
Hello Mr. Harris,

Found a 3D image on grabcad.com of a rifle stock--used Rhino3D to convert to STL. Can someone convert the STL to a Carvewright software file, or is that against the terms of service? I don't own...
The 3D models I have are in IGS format--found a piece of software called Rhino 3D (http://www.rhino3d.com/download.htm) and we'll see if I can convert to STL.
I have 3D models (in IGS format, typically used by Solidworks) that I'd like to import into the CW software. Has anyone done this? I assume there's a way to transmit the file into DXF, then use the...
