If I decided to sell the machine and go over to a CNC Router Parts kit built machine, the principles of operation are identical and I could use the exact same Vectric software - no extra purchase required and no learning curve. For example, I use a Camaster CNC router and Vectric software. The software and principles of operation are not that similar to any other machine. If I decide to upgrade, I am just starting all over.
The problem with the Carvewright machine and software is that the learning experience and software does not carry over to any other machine. It's not very active there anymore like it was years ago, but still some good info, and a few of the original long time users are still around. But that's with anything CNC, not just Carvewright.Ī lot of CW forum members have found some pretty cheap and ingenious ways to create patterns. I have most of the CW software, but it does get costly, and there is a learning curve. There is the STL and DXF importers available, but there is that expensive part again. Patterns are tough, a lot of free stuff on the Carvewright forum that may help you. I think it might have been a 4 flute that I tried. I've had a couple replacement bits not work out so well because the flutes loaded up. Watch the number of flutes and rate of twist on some of your replacements. I know some people buy low end no name bits, but I stuck with vendors I was familiar with. I don't think I have any of my original Carvewright bits left in use anymore, all of them have been replaced through other sources.
