Just purchased a CW today

[bats13]

we are located in Maine and we are involved in laser engraving and woodworking business and thought buying one of these would be a great addition to our business. Look forward to learning from the threads here and hopefully get some help along the way from the CW community.....

Welcome to the CW world! Looking forward to seeing your work. Do you plan on incorporating your laser with work on the CarveWright?

Make sure you visit the support section on the main CarveWright site. Lots to view and read while your waiting on your new machine.

Welcome !!!! A great place to start is with HOMEWORK....

Find Tips and Tricks on the LHR site and start reading.... You will need to understand "The 7 inch Rule of Wood" and how it relates to the machine. It all deals with how you answer the question the machine asks, "Stay under the Rollers?" and depending on your Physical Board Length, Designer Board Length and project setup... Many first posts start with "My project came out much smaller than I designed?" We call it Pilot Errors. Tips and Tricks will help you understand what the machine needs and expects.

Good Luck,

AL

Congratulations on your purchase. I have had mine about 2 years now and it has been a great addition to my little ww business. I would certainly echo the others who suggest a little homework and of course, keep this forum on the active list. It has been invaluable for me...

I bought my Carvewright to compliment the laser and it just arrived today. First piece was a maple impression of our business logo that came out great...
