I can say that I played around with Easel the other night. The add-ons and upgrades required to get where I think I want to be with the Carvewright system would cost upwards of around $1000 and then I still need to consider a new machine. Both are proprietary as are just about everything associated with Carvewright… another reason I am leaning towards something different. mpc files are the project file that you save your layout on the virtual board. ptn files store your individual pattern elements and the. Thanks again for your input! ( don’t know if we ever spoke on Carvewright forums… my username is Ton80 over there ) My primary reason of moving to a new system is to experience a noticeable improvement in V-carve and pocket routing work.

Most of my v-carve work involved detailed images that had to be imported into a font file and brought into Designer… not ideal at all. The only exception was the vectors you drew within Designer as they always carved out very quick and clean. If I can ask you a little more about how you use the X-carve and Easel then I would be curious about how much V-carve work you have done with your machine and how you compare the quality compared to Carvewright? I always found the Carvewright to be a little erratic and/or sloppy caving anything in v-carve. I’ll be keeping my Carvewright as I have several projects on there which I wouldn’t want to have to replicate… and it’s still a nice machine to have when running strictly raster carves.
