Craftsman Carve Wright System

I have been looking at the Craftsman CarverWright system and would like some
feed back from those who have tried it. I know if you go to
www.carvewright.com you can download the software and see a short demo....
But what's it really like in action.

How good does it carve pictures? I know it works off a gray scale but how
easy is it to get a good image?

Thanks,
Tim

Google the archives. There has been considerable discssion here though none
from anyone who owns one. Maybe that says something

Won't be long before you'll be able to suit up in your best Norm shop
warrior attire, click up your Tom Plamann avatar and, in the comfort of your
computer chair, make a carved staircase before lunch.

Have you tried looking at the forum on CarveWright's site. They were
selling these units a good time before Sears picked it up. More specific
trafffic from actual users than the "wreck".

Not me. I run a shop full of those robotic monsters all day. Not going to do
it at home. BTW, we have two new ones coming in next week. Spent last Friday
tearing out walls and getting rid of old machinery to make room.
