A few years ago I had one (well ended up being 3 machines, Sears return policy was put to the test) of the CompuCarve machines. After complete frustration over board sensor errors, belts rolling up, board measuring issues, etc. I returned the machine to Sears and got my money back. But, I do like the possibilites of the machine and have wanted to purchase another. I come back to the forum from time to time to see how things are going and I see the same old posts concerning the same old problems. Most of the posts don't indicate which machine people are using, but I was wondering how many of the familiar issues have been resolved in Version C. I notice there is a sale going on, but in my opinion it is a very detrimental one. $300 one year warranty for free, from this it appears CarveWright is expecting problems to charge that kind of money for 1 year of warranty.
