What materials can the Copy Carver carve?
A- Anything you can find a 1/4″ shaft cutter for, or a 1/2″ cutter if you use a full size router. Most of the users duplicate their carvings in wood. Many of them duplicate woodcarvings in soft stone with incredible results. Most of the same carbide cutters designed for wood will also work well in soft stone, urethane foams and machineable plastics. One carver I know machines soft aluminum for ultra-light airplane parts he designs. He carves a prototype in wood and replicates it in aluminum for strength. Some studio/stage prop builders use it to replicate stage props in high density urethane foam. Small sign shops use a CopyCarver for machining urethane panels into indoor/outdoor signs using wood or plastic letters and shapes as the patterns to follow.
