I've enjoyed my Carvewright as much as I ever have any other power tool. It doesn't create the gut wretching passion that a hand tool can... but neither can any other power tool that I own.

The best way I heard it put was from another user that said the Carvewright is just like his wife... it is

...a little tempermental at times
...it gets angry when the house is dirty
...no matter what accessories you buy for her it is still a bit loud
...there are definate maintenance "issues"
...it seems cheap at first compared to the competition but the price quickly adds up due to consumables

but when things are right, they are RIGHT!

Yeah... I like my Carvewright a lot... and much like my old 72 Malibu I had when I was 16 every time I get ready to start it up I give it a little pat and say "OK sweetie... start for me just one... more... time...." and just like that beautiful car, my carvewright has started up every time so far. My next step will probably be to give the CW a name... I think I'll call her "Molly"

the carvetight spindle. the full bit set i dont see a use for. the only other bit besides the carving and cutting bits that come with it would be a 90 or 60 degree bit if you get centerline text and maybe the 3/8 bit for calibrating. most everything else is best bone with a router and $10 bit.

I love my machine and my Rock Chuck. I agree with Timcosby on the tools. I have the complete tool set but don't use them except in my router table set up. Using these in my router is faster and saves on the CW, I'd much rather save the CW just for doing the delecate carving, the rest I'll do on other machines or by hand.

We have the full bit set also and only use the 90, 60, 1/4" ball and the 3/8" straight bit. I make a lot of picture frames and use the 3/8 to carve the recess on the back. I tried "edge route" once and didn't like the stress it put on the machine and I can do it faster with the routing table.

What might be cool is if someone would make a small project using each of the bits to show the effect and look of each one. Just a thought..........

Also is the heavy duty traction belt a good idea to go ahead and get or is the normal belt okay?

The normal belts are perfectly fine. Use flat straight stock and they'll last a long long time.
