The great thing about cast acrylic and Corian is that they come in many different colors and opacities. Note that the machine is always expecting soft material like wood as the carving medium and will automatically set the speed and feed rates based on this expectation.

Therefore it is very important to keep any carving in plastic to less than 1/8″ deep. Deeper carving will put excessive load on the machine by trying to push a bit through this hard material and can cause damage to the bit and/or machine. The only bit currently approved for plastic is the tapered 1/16″ carving bit. This means that some functions will not be available to you when using hard plastic. DO NOT use any machine function that employs a bit other than the tapered bit when using plastics. For example, do not use decorative bits or the cutout function on plastics. Also remember to clean the machine very thoroughly when using plastics. The “dust” and chips produced can damage drive components and belts. Sign foam, such as HDU (Hish Density Urethane), is particularly suited for creating signs and molds. The denser the foam the better the surface finish. Other Materials Any materials outside of those stated above are not to be used in the machine. In fact, not that the CarveWright warranty is null and void if the machine is used to cut metals, stone or any other hard material not explicitly allowed. We encourage all of our customers to be creative with materials within the wood, plastic and foam familiies and to report successes and failures so that we can share this information with the entire CarveWright community. Some customers are reporting using transformers to step up to 220V, but this generally means they are using the system outside of the US and their warranty is in this case voided.Is it possible to run the machine on 220V AC? The CarveWright can only be used with a 60 Hz 110V AC power supply. Using a transformer to convert to 220V will void your warranty.Can I use an extension cord with the machine?When using the CarveWright at an extended distance from the wall outlet, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw without inducing a large resistance load. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, which can result in a momentary loss of power.
