      Brings out the wood worker in everyone! April 11, 2010

      I am a I.T. professional, (computers) and never really had any woodworking talent. The CompuCarve enabled me to apply my computer and artistic skills while allowing me to watch them become wonderful wood crafts. The support is awesome and while the machine takes some time to learn, it is time well spent as it will save you some frustrations down the road. 

      The online tutorials are awesome and give you a chance to do some hands on learning. The support is wonderful! They are attentive, kind and love to share their knowledge. You get the two most important bits to start. As your learning grows, so will your designs which will require additional bits. So you don't have to spend a lot right up front. 

      Overall, it has been a pleasure working with this machine and CompuCarve professionals. It is indeed a very well rounded product and manufacturer. 

       

      Bravo!

      a waste of time and money November 17, 2009

            Unfortunately, I was one of the countless consumers that bought into the hype about this so-called amazing machine.  Was I wrong.  I have spent dozens of hours on the phone with tech support trying to get this machine to work properly.  I have wasted far too much time trying to get this machine fix, and far too much money on what turned out to be scrap wood for my fireplace.  They actually sent me someone else's repaired machine as a replacement for my defective machine, instead of a new one!  Even after sending the machine back 3 times for repair, it works for maybe 2 or 3 projects then breaks down again.
           Using this machine (or trying to use it), is nothing but frustration, a waste of time, wood and money.  If I could give it less then one star I would!

      Not a better tool on the market, It can do everything!!! October 18, 2011

      Pros:
      Quality product and support.,Wonderful education and training.,it's perfect
      Cons:
      Most dumb ass's can't use it

      This is the most increadible tool ever made! You can't own to many of them. The people who have had a bad experience with it can't really blame the tool because they are a bunch of mouth breathing, nail bending, wood scrapers. Some struggle to get it out of the box and think the can program them, OH PLEASE, most can't fiquire out which end of the cutter goes where. Most need to go back to carving with chisels (not to sharp tho) maybe just get a crayon and color a block of wood. Hope this was helpful to all of you.

      Great product but has quirks April 14, 2010

      Had mine for a few weeks now. Software is simple as in drag and drop, but perhaps too simple as it doesn't convert DXF files - the user must input lines and shapes, and can be slower than normal CAD programs. There is an STL file converter for $300 more, that I have not tried yet. Also, the unit is very loud (like a router). Possibilities are endless though - but you will need to be creative sometimes, as it has limitations that sometimes need to be worked around.

      Not worth the money paid. March 06, 2010

      Let me just say we're on our 4th and now doesn't work right. First machine was routing edges and plunged down through the wood. Second and third, the flex shaft cable burnt while carving project. Neither one had more than 50 carving hours on it. Was told to get chain oil with moly. Went all over town. Auto supply stores, talked to mechanics, feed mill oil experts. Everybody said there was no such animal. It wasn't until we went to one hardware store before someone knew what we were talking about. The fourth machine kept saying bit depth does not match. Plunged down through wood and broke bit. Then the carriage won't go all the way over to the depth gadge. Didn't even have the machine for a month. Have to send it in for repair. Told if we keep bringing back, Sears is not going to stand behind warrantee. We bought 5 yr warrantee plus all the fancy bits, patterns, new bit for broken one and new memory card. We're wondering if they don't stand behind warrantee, are we going to get our money back for all the extra we will never use.
