They sure show off some beautiful filigree on the carvewright site.
What they
don't tell you is that each one of those probably ate a spindle motor
unit, and
took over 24 hours to cut. The blurb on the software tell you NOTHING.
But, it
maybe looks like the only way to enter anything is freehand. But, maybe
that
is just so they don't scare woodworkers away.
