Hi del
This is just my 2 cens
and some input on this great machine
I would suggest the Sears one to start with, you can get a 5 year plan and they will come to you if you have any errors with the machine..
Bits,,,you can get the bits from the CarveWright web site but you can buy most of them from other Mfg.that work as well and are a bit less in $$$$.
The bit I like best is the one below,and it's the one you will use most of the time.

The bit holders you want to stock up on they only work in the machine and it's the only way to hold the bit in the machine..they come in 1/4" and 1/2" so you want to have many on hand, you can just pop the bit out of the holder and put in a new one but it sure is nice just to pop in a new holder with the bit in place.

"scanner ?" the Scanning Probe is a nice add on but it's 300.oo dollar tool and I don't think you will need right off...you can find tons of patterns on the net that you can use all or just part of them..
If you get the Probe you will need to make a sled to used it in the machine.
see the forum how to made one...

"Also pic's Who know's " take a peek at the web site for some great projects many have made with the machine.
http://www.carvewright.com/forum/
They have a NEW item out called
Centerline Text, module,,it's not free,, 100.oo for the add on item.
http://carvewright.com/store/product...0&bestseller=Y
but if you want to do alot of signs you may want to get it..
Just a tip,,,in order to get the bit out of the holder(s) you will need to heat it up with a heat gun, they lock the Allen cap screw in with loctie and the heat will break the seal..
hope this helps
Maybe we can get Charles M to add to this,he has one also (the machine)
