    Can the carvewright cut a 262" radius on a piece of mdf that is 13" x 130"?

    If your just after a radius then a circle jig, and wood Stands using a band saw are your best bet.... Norm did it a few times on his show..

    I setup a 13.5 inch board x 12 feet.... Made a 122 inch radius just to see what it would do.... Assigned a Cut Path.... Got "TILT"

    Wrong tool for the job..


    Edit:

    On second thought... You could make a closed path Arc and assign a cut path to it.... So it is possible....

    Rmember the resale value of the machine is about $800.00 after that first $1000.00 cut... For Various reasons as no warranty....

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

    Thanks for the info, my question was just one more reason I want to buy one. The capabilities of the machine are what I am looking at for my small shop. Will post Pics as soon as I get a carvewright and show my project that is due in a month.
