    Use of turbocad with shop bot software

    Sorry, got carried away with my post and didn't answer your real question. Yes, you can use drawings created in TurboCad with Partworks/V-Carve Pro.

    The answer to your question would depend a lot on what you plan to create and make with your ShopBot. I purchased mine 8 years ago, purchased both TurboCad and Corel Draw soon after, and have never used either program to create a project. If you purchase your ShopBot new, it will come with two...

    To all: My wife and I just got home from the visitation and the flower arrangement sent by NC Woodworker was absolutely beautiful. I am sure they are very appreciated. Randy touched us all, he was a one-in-a-million and will be missed by all. And I think it needs to be said that those of...

    assistance with Porter Cable 4212 dovetail jig?

    Andy, It was great seeing you again today. Woodcraft's website lists the Whiteside bits designed for the PC dovetail jig. Given a choice, I would go with these instead of the PC branded ones if they carry them in the store...

    I agree with what Rob and Randy said about Mountain Sawyers 120%. Steve and Wes are absolutely the best people to deal with and I purchase everything I can from them. In addition to what Rob and Randy said, Mountain Sawyers went out of their way helping us obtain and store wood and supplies for...

    CNC carved Hickory Coat Rack

    Thanks for all the comments! I normally hesitate to post something completely carved by machine out of respect for the real craftspeople present. But since the wood was purchased thanks to a forum message, I made an exception. Matthew, The simple answer is that's what I had on hand. And I've...

    After purchasing some assorted wood from Roy at great prices (http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/f64/cheap-kd-lumber-s-maple-fas-hickory-25122/) I thought I'd post a picture of the first project made with one of the pieces of hickory. The overall size is 50" wide by 9" high and the carved 3D...

    Toy Box for Grandson

    Michael, The carvings were done on a CNC machine called a ShopBot (http://www.shopbottools.com/) which I'm proud to say is a NC company in Durham. I'm not sure how familiar you are with the concept of CNC (computer numerical controlled), but it is simply a computer operated wood router. I get...
