Sears Craftsman CompuCarve

Filed under: Gadgets and Tools — amo @ 8:13 pm

Compact, computer-controlled, 3-dimensional woodworking machine with an easy-to-use interface. It allows a novice to make a complete project without a shop full of tools.The unique configuration allows it to perform many other woodworking functions, including ripping, cross cutting, mitering, contouring, jointing and routing. The CompuCarve can work in most soft materials, including wood, plastics (polycarbonate or cast acrylic) and certain types of high density foam.

Here’s the product page. Here’s a video produced by Sears. (These sites are not Firefox friendly.)

Just in case you’re wondering, it’s $1900.
