Sears, Roebuck and Co. CompuCarve™ System (Rev 1.18) 04/23/07

WARNING: From the standpoint of safety, machine longevity,

and output quality, it is important to follow all instructions

concerning the proper bit to be used for each built-in function.

For approved router bits, visit the CarveWright website.

Rip or Cross Cut

This function is provided to allow a board to be sized by width and/or

length. A Rip Cut (along the grain or long axis) will size a board to the

desired width; a Cross Cut (across the grain or narrow axis) will size a

board to the desired length. Once Cross or Rip is selected from the Cross

or Rip Cut menu, prompts are made for the desired length or width of the

finished board. A Rip Cut will ALWAYS be performed to the far side of

the board and a Cross Cut will ALWAYS be performed to the right end of

the board as explained in Figure 14. Finally there will be a prompt to Load

the 1/8” Cutting Bit (included).

If many pieces of the same width or length are desired, simply raise

the head, remove all material from the machine, load a new the

board, set the sliding guide plate, lower the head, and press

Repeat.

Many times it is useful to run a jointing operation after a rip to clean

up the cut edge.

To joint the board after ripping it, cut the material slightly wider to

allow for the jointing passes that remove ~1/64" on each pass.

Jointing and Squaring

Jointing and squaring operations, which are often difficult on smaller

boards, can be done quickly and with extreme precision using this built-in

function. Squaring ensures that the corner angle of the board surface is a

true 90 degrees. Jointing ensures that the edge of the board is a uniform

90 degrees to its surface. Squaring is always done on the board end. For

the Joint or Square function the user will be prompted to select either

Square or Joint. If Square is selected the machine will ALWAYS perform

the operation to the left end of the board as explained in Figure 14. If

Joint is selected the machine will ALWAYS perform the joint to the far

edge of the board. After selecting the desired option the LCD will prompt

the user to Load a 3/8” Jointing bit (not included).

Because the software limits the depth of the joint or square to 1/64”

(.015”) the Repeat shortcut key is often used to quickly take

additional passes. To repeat a jointing pass simply raise the head,

re-center the board in the machine, re-set the sliding guide plate,

lower the head, and press Repeat.

If it is desired to square both ends, or joint both sides, of a board,

simply reverse the board in the machine and repeat the operation.
