I'd love to actually put it to use - I have plenty of occasions where I want to cut something out of MDF or similar - but it's a paperweight in its current state. My father moved down to Florida, and this machine has just sat in my workshop, taking up space.
CARVEWRIGHT CARD READER SOFTWARE
Compounding the poor software choices was the fact that you had to save their proprietary files onto an equally proprietary memory card, which only had something like an 8MB capacity and failed to write on a regular basis. I can tell from that link they are still doing that shit. After what was close to a $2,000 purchase, we were absolutely offended to be told that if we wanted to carve text into something, we'd have to spring for their "Centerline TEXT" module, which at that point was something like $299. It actually looked fairly promising for sign-making or similar endeavors, but I think we very quickly discovered that the software that the machine uses was utter dogshit.
