I will get the name close enough that you can find it, Carvewright, I believe (or Carverwright). You can find a bunch of chatter about it over at sawmill creeks forum. People seem to move out of it relatively quickly and up to larger machines.

A friend of mine bought one. He showed off a wooden sign that he had it cut, looked good. Don't have much more info than that.

I checked out some of the samples and forum at www.carvewright.com. Looks very interesting, but way out of my budget right now.

Heck yeah I thought about it...But a little expensive right now.

You were right on with Carvewright: http://www.carvewright.com/
Looks like the same machine as the Craftsman.

I am a woodworker and a professional geek, so I simply call the thing a "printer" that uses very expensive (and thick) paper : )

I have thought about that. It wouldn't be bad to have a side business doing custom carvings and reliefs for people. If I had more time and $2,000, I would think about it.

Heck, it's a little expensive any time! But I want one.....

I'm pretty sure that you could cut some plastics with it as well. Might make some nice lithopanes.
