    Thanks for the shout-out guys. I've dropped that summary or a similar one in several different forums- SMC is getting some views, but the biggie so far has been Woodnet, where the 2-year review has over 1200 views in just a couple of days. I've also put it in the Woodwhisperer forum and linked to my Carvewright blog on the WWA forum as well.

    The last update I plan is a significant "2 years on" review on Amazon. I already did a pretty lengthy review a couple of years ago and did a 1-year update so it is time to do that anyway.

    Hopefully things like positive forum posts, highlights in shows like the American Woodshop, and this forum will continue to highlight the capabilities of the Carvewright- especially with the factory and aftermarket upgrades to increase reliability, compatability with industry standard programs, and reduce cleaning time and the significant strides made in customer relations and tech support.

    Now all we need is a 3rd axis mount

    And a little LHR input to the SMC Thread.... From Connie

    "There are many CW's in classrooms from middle schools to universities to prison systems; rehabilitation centers (even for the blind), commercial shops and artist studios. CW is more affordable for most schools and it is a great introduction to CNC. It has it's fit and it's purpose. I hear too, that it gets along very well with the "big boys" that it shares a shop with.

    As far as the software goes, with DXF & STL Importer and the ability to export to STL using the Scanning Probe & Pattern Editor, proprietary software is more of a non-issue. Technology advances. Just because you no longer program in Fortran or Cobol, does not mean you are not a computer programmer. You no longer need to know html in order to create a website. Software has moved more object oriented.

    Preventive maintenance is key with the machine and the new C version is much more solid. One of my favorite posts on the CW forum is from Al Ursich (digitalwoodshop) where he posted:"


    "Well look at that.... 33 Posts chasing a 3 inch tail Pilot Error... LOL....

    Glad you got it working correct.... I see a former 3 inch sled getting the Fire Wood Treatment...

    Well, at least is was a Troubleshooting Post.... Darn Machine is getting so reliable that it is putting the Maytag Repairman like me out of business... LOL...

    Sawmill Creek forum mods haven't banned me for doing it, YET! I think so long as I state who I am and don't just promote, but more defend and answer inquiries, I might be okay.

    Here is the response I had to my post

    could not agree with this more, espaecially the word "introduction" it worked for me...and it is safe enough for small children,,,, yet


    we are members of the AWI, cabinet makers in the commercial world, the end users along with many other industries (printing, metal signage etc) where the result of an education is paramount to manufacturing, that said if a young fellow/person came to my shop and represented himself to be capable of operating a cnc machine and on the level of experience he listed "Carvewright" he would be shown the door. sorry i want autocad, gcode, and safety operations, this machine has a reason and a place, but i do not see its methods as better than industry standards. this would be a case of saving too much money which while that sounds redundant is a very real problem.
    Either way, at least the CW is being talked about over there, again.
