Ok I have been looking on internet at a lot of threads, I was set on carvewright, but then I keep seeing other cnc machines, for a little more money. My question is, if new to cnc and carving machines, what would be your number one machine to start out with? I want to do country signs and family photographs, and then some regular carvings as well. Mainly for my own enjoyment, my dad used to be a woodcarver all by hand, so my love for wood is in my blood! I am pretty good with computers, but I am not familiar with CAD, not sure how hard that would be to pick up. Any advice guys???
