A few new additions

[MarkW]

I have gotten a few new additions over that last couple weeks so I figgured to make one combination gloat.

The first one is a Grizzly 15 inch planer. I had already purchased a Dewalt when I backtracked returned it and went ahead and got this one. It was delivered in perfect condition and it was almost dead on out of the crate.

The next one is a Compcarve. The FIL purchased this for us (so Im not sure it counts as a gloat, but its in my shop and probably will stay there)and I am just starting to work on some designs to try it out. It looks pretty neat and now Sears offers a 5 year warranty so we felt we couldn't go wrong. I realize that these things are sorta controversial but I tried carving the non powered way but as much as I would like it....I have no talent there.

The last gloat is one of the best. My new shop helper. She still sleeps alot, but hopefully I can get her to earn her keep eventually.

Thanks guys!

Does the planer have the spiral cutterhead or standard? I am really hoping I can get that one with the spiral cutterhead. If yours had that, let me know how you like it and if it is worth the extra price.

No Jim I did not spring for the spiral head. I just couldn't swing it right now but from other reviews I think it would have been worth getting though.

YankeePoP I have read most of the site at CC and theres alot of good info. Thanks

Nice adds! Is #3 a Boston?

Compcarve is an interesting idea. Can it duplicate an existing carving? What is the total relief it will carve? Will it create through-holes?

Good luck with the housetraining!

Yep she is a Boston Terrier and a real handful so far.
The CC can duplicate existing carvings with an add on probe. It will create through holes I think about half an inch total, but Im not sure there.
