The new toy. #12: 3-D carving.

Hey Larry,
What kind of cutter did you use…....not bad for a first attempt mate….looking good.

-- I will just keep doing it till I get it right.

do you have a bowl bit? might work well as everything is round and there are no square corners.

-- The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep...

Moshe I used a core box bit 12 mm [ round nose] and was going to reduce it through 9.5 mm and down to 6.35 mm but I ran out of time and had to remove the setup to make room for the next job on the wee beastie..
Please note that the pin in the copy attachment and the router bit must match,, square or round.

I’ve a friend who has the Carvemaster (Sears version of Carvewright. That is computer controlled.
Yours is just as good.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

Looks like fun Larry

That’s not a sun face, it’s more like someone been sitting way to long in the inspirational chair with multiple toucans…what a glow….LOL. You keep pushing that wee beastly of yours and we’ll see you on the cover of FWW magazine. Great work Doc. thanks for posting Blkcherry

wow. what a fun machine!

Looks like a pretty good result to me. Please let us see again when you get the right cutters.

Interesting Larry,
I will have to try mine soon. One limitation is that the cutter can not be angled away from vertical (can it?)so that prevents any undercutting so for most relief carving the copy cant be perfect but could be a very good basis for later finishing off with hand carving tools?

-- David Australia

Yes David It can be angled but I would not recommend that for carving, might be a little dangerous.
Better to finish by hand.. it is great for roughing out.
