Trying to do some sign carving. Would love to have
CC centerline text tool, but I'm retired and on a fixed budget
and 100 bucks for soft ware seems a little steep.

Question, can I just use a 60 deg bit with the regular text
format? I would like to try this. Has anyone else tried it?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

So I just picked up a 2nd hand CW here in the UK. I haven't had it a week and I know I want the Rock Chuck !! ;)

But I have some questions. If I use the Rock Chuck, does that then mean I can use carving\router bits that I have sources locally? i.e will standard bits fit? I take it that the best option for me would be to get the 1/2 kit with the 1/4 and 1/8 sleeves? Does that give me the most versatility?

I take it shipping to the UK isn't going to be a problem?

Lastly, what are the main differences between Rock and LHR's new offering?

Cheers]]> wizer CompuCarve / CarveWright Sat, 01 May 2010 12:40:07 -0400 http://www.carvespot.com/forum/read.php?3,1738,1738#msg-1738 http://www.carvespot.com/forum/read.php?3,1738,1738#msg-1738
You awake now? what the heck is going on over here? LHR comes out with their new chuck and not one word over here?

Whats this thing about discounted software? I looked over CW site could not find any thing about it.


And why I at it where the hell you all at? what the heck winter is over get out of your ficken caves, think I going to go back to riding at least you see someone on the road once in a while]]> Hess CompuCarve / CarveWright Wed, 05 May 2010 01:53:08 -0400 http://www.carvespot.com/forum/read.php?3,1734,1734#msg-1734 http://www.carvespot.com/forum/read.php?3,1734,1734#msg-1734

If there is a program I would greatly appreiciate the link or where I can purchase it if needed or does the designer have a application in it that enables you to view the patterns in your saved folder not the one that you have actually carved already.

Thanks

2. Machine starts measuring board. OK
3. Ask for bit selection and then insert bit. OK
4. Truck goes to left up - down then to the right up - down a couple of times then back to the left. (sometimes truck goes down and up then to the center of the board and wants the bit inserted all over again)
5. Finds board far left down - up then over to board and pokes slightly into board and gives me a "Z" error and have to STOP and start all over.

Just where the heck is the Z snsor located? Am I headed for some expensive repairs as money is real tight now, that is why family and friends are getting hand crafted items this year (which is a good and better thing).

I have been on every carve site that I could find plus the Operators Manual is of no use and no one has touched on the subject of how to adjust or repair this sensor. One did talk about loose screws on the belt holder so I checked and no problem there. The "Z" Truck is nice an tight with no movement when I try and wiggle it in all directions. The people at CarvWright told me that my machin was out of warrintie and that it would cost me $25.00 per incident or $150.00 a year.

I only have about 25 hours on the motor and about 38 hours total on time. I am starting to do the Christmas stuff and need some help in fixing this problem. I blow out the machine after every use and have lightly oiled with 3 in 0ne oil both the Y & Z tracks.

HELP

Just finished installing the RC. How far do I need to insert the bit in the adapter? Once the bit is properly in does it need calibration or anything else?

I don't have a graphics program like I thought. What would be recommended: Photo Shop or Corel Draw

Is one easier to use than the other? Can you do more with one than the other?
