Craftsman Compucarver Machine

I'm only too happy to do this:

For a little more, see the post "cabinet building software", 05/01/2007 4:07 PM

and the link form there:

Well there are 10 user ratings at that link and the overall rating from those people is 4.5 stars (out of 5). Of those review, 7 of them give it a perfect 5-star rating.

It might be of limited usefulness for most of the folks around here, but the people who own it seem to like it.

Well, the Rockcliff homebuilt machine looks like it can perform as well as the compucarve machine and cheaper.

$20 for the plans $70 for the material and parts $345 to $475 for the stepper motors and control board. Possibly cheaper depending on where you shop for em $159 for Mach III software

and a computer with a printer port

That's $594 to $724 depending on how elaborate you get with your stepper motors

That cost versus the almost $2000 for the Compucarve/Carveright system makes me say, I'll put >Well there are 10 user ratings at that link and the overall rating from

Its an imperfect world. I can't even begin to explain this. Maybe I should do a terse thread. This thread is 30 messages long, and half way down its indented all th eway to the right then goes back again. If people are not respomding one after the other, how did it get this tangent.

Either you're just not getting it, or you're a troll in training. I decided to read some the posts following, before replying; you totally lost all credibility, as far as I'm concerned.

There is anything really important missing. Just a lot of it. Maybe I'll think along these lines in the future. I'm not on the subject of rocket science, and I don't want to feel scared about saying something (obvious afterall) quickly.

"Generally", eh? Which means that you "often" don't know what's going on.

"There is anything really important missing. Just a lot of it." What the Hell is that supposed to mean?

"I don't want to feel scared about saying something (obvious afterall) quickly." Well, looks like you're sure not scared of saying something stupid. Quickly.

do I really need this?

it very obvious you have nothing better to do than follow me around correcting my synatx and grammar

The OP is complaining about the content, someone else is pissed off about some other.

All I can say is I am a man of steel. I do the best I can at all times. I build cars. Please do not not treat me badly wherever I go.

You're rambling, bud. Who are you talking to? (I know it's not me.)

How much repeat carving are you going to do.

Yes I am a smart ass.

Weird sense of humor too.

can you remind all that this is either serious, or humorous, and not to confuse the two, or me with all this extra crap. I have no trouble dealing with all three, or a combination. None is a little to extreme, even for me.

Big problem is that the only one who knows what or who you are replying to is you. No quoting, no context for others.
