I have used my machine for 60 hours of actual cutting. It does impressive carvings. I have used the machine to make carved signs, wall hangings, and jewelry boxes. I have carved a variety of woods including oak, cherry, walnut, and pine."
I have had several problems but the forum at the carvewright site provides many helpful suggestions. Machine requires frequent cleaning and some adjustments. I did have to return for one warranty repair, but had my machine back in one week. All shipping was covered.
