Are they the exact same machine, just sold under different names?

Hi Rocky

Well yes and no,, Sears is in control of both machines (prices) very small things that are diff. with the Craftsman but all in all they are almost the same...and do the same job ,the real plus for the Craftsman, you can get a 5 year replacement or repair plan unlike the CarveWright I know because I have one. it ran 138.oo bucks but it's worth it I think...it's a real new type of tool for the home shop..

I don't recall off the top of my head but someone on the CarveWright Forum will know for sure..

The CarveWright and CompuCarve machines are nearly identical. Sears does NOT control either one, as was previously stated. Sears enabled the machines to be introduced into the mass market, so they were allowed to re-brand their name onto the machines they sell. Craftsman makes ZERO power tools, they simply re-brand tools that other manufacturers make. Several people are under the impression that Sears is the manufacturer and controller of these machines, and they are NOT.

Hi CarveMania


I wish I kept the note off the CarveWright forum when the prices for the bits when up by 10.oo dollars and they said "it was because Sears controls the prices for the machine and the tools for them" and they told them to get the prices up and in line with what they sell them for...I would call that in control..

Good point.

I know this is an older thread, but I wanted to correct someones reply. Sears does, in fact, produce their own power tools. Very very very few of them are rebranded items. I have worked for Sears for many years and can assure you that the Craftsman line of power tools are not all rebrands. The Compucarve is a joint effort and thus is ok to call it a rebrand, but to call the rest of their power tools rebranded models is stretching it. For those who are interested, the compucarve is available again also.
