    I could not resist....

    AL "who" here.... Got the nickname when I called LHR one time and said this was AL.... Digitalwoodshop.... She said "AL "who".... So the Urban Myth goes....

    I am a self proclaimed compulsive poster.... With over 5000 posts since 2007... I spend time each day here posting advice good and sometimes bad....

    A retired Navy Chief and Electronics Tech with 8 years with Sony fixing everything from Fanuc Robots at a Picture Tube Plant to Play Stations at the former Philly Service Center....

    Now I run my business making Tourist Stuff, Signs, and Fire Dept Safety Products.

    I am on top of the world this week as I just got a $10K Fire Tag order... Topping my last year's 15 Kentucky Fire Dept $5K order...

    I use my CW to cut the Tag Stock and Wood Handles for my Fire stuff plus Maltese Clocks.

    This is a GREAT PLACE and the machine fits my need very well..... I was going to cut the tags for this big order on my CW, 30 sheets 12 x 24 at 30 min each. But they decided on a 1.5 x 3 tag that I can get pre cut from my supplier.... to save time, It will go the easy route this time and give the CW a rest.... I will cut 8 wood handles for Accountability Boards for the order....

    It is going to be a GREAT year....

    Favorite Saying.... "It's ALL About the Brass Roller"..... And "Use MASKING TAPE" for board skipping in the X or breaking bits.

    Cool Newbie here

    After pondering the purchase of a CW for over 6 months I finally took the plunge. While waiting on my dust collection system to arrive, I had to experiment with the new machine. I must have been so excited that I didn't set the correct height to the feed tray rollers. On the third carve I ripped a feed belt. My fault. That just gave me a good reason to order the heavy duty belts and get aquainted with the internals of the CW. New belts on and working like a charm.

    FWHarris,

    I received the dust collector a few days ago. Looks great. I'm just waiting on my vacuum system. Thanks

    New to this forum. Bought a "new, never used" carvewright off ebay, and am interested in using it to increase my shops capabilities.
    My focus is stairs, doors and custom millwork, and I think once I get the hang of this, it should suit my needs quite well (albeit a lot slower than the $70k monster CNC's my competitors have, but the same result at the end of the day -or 2 )

    most specifically, I am seeking out anyone who has successfully integrated one of these machines with a Legacy Mill?
    if you or anyone you know fits this profile, please let me know, as this is my first intent once I get the basic fundamentals of this.

    I look forward to meeting some of you, and am always willing to share my areas of expertise (millwork, joinery, fabrication, finish carpentry and manufacturing)

    My focus is stairs, doors
    As a licensed Millwright and cabinet guy " retired" I would suggest using a 1.25" or bigger, spindle shaper for doors and stairs. The CW will do a good job for inhancing the big stuff.
