I am very impressed with the quality of your product” - Tom G.

“Polly has discovered a way to have your cake and a decorative pan to carry it in. She sells pie, brownie and cake pans with lids that she engraves with almost anything you want. Because they stand out in a crowd, these pans are good choices for taking baked goods to a church bazaar or to the next family gathering. “Received over 100 calls on this article. And it was free. Will be doing over 100 pans just by this article. Love you All”- Chris

“Hi SCM. Here are some photos of my carvings on some gunstocks. I have so many requests for designs. I can do so many types of styles. I go in many different directions. I used to do this with hand tools. It took forever; not to mention how hard it was on my hands. This is my dream tool. Thanks again…"- John C.

I’m not done with my truck yet. I’m waiting on just the right picture of an eagle; then I’ll put it on the back window. I figure, if somebody steals my truck, they’ll have to replace all the windows immediately. Having fun…”- Bill D.

“Dear SCM, I really don’t know how to say this. I couldn’t get over your kindness, nobody has ever done this for me before. The first time I talked to you about your 400xs I said to myself, this is the company I want to do business with. You did not give me any BS and were not rude on the phone and you were a very nice to talk to. The engraver came at the right time. It is so much easier to do all of my fine detailing on my carvings thanks to SCM. I will be sending you some photos of my engravings. My wife does all the fine detail painting. With the 400xs I know I can do better detail withal my engraving. Your engraver has given me the opportunity to prove it. Thank you so much.”- Jim W.

“Here are the pictures I told you about. The slices are 3 foot long. I enclosed some of the wooden plates as well. As you can see, I use the 400xs a lot. Hope to have more photos of carving done this year. Talk to you later…” - Aaron

“Enclosed are photographs of some of the work I do using the 400xs. The photos are out of focus because I did not use my glasses when I took the pictures. Thanks for all of your support throughout the year. Your friend…” - Robert J.

“Thanks SCM for the most amazing tool ever. I cannot sit up for more than 5 minutes at a time. I carve laying down on bone and antler. This is therapy for me. This wonderful tool has allowed me to be so creative. I carve hours at a time” - Debbi

“I cannot tell you how easy you and your company have made this process for me. In the past I have had difficulty with buying stuff online. I have been looking to start a business for the last six years and caught wind of your website. After dealing with you, and other staff at SCM I realized I wanted to continue doing business with you. I started my business on July 3rd, just got it completely set up yesterday, and made my first sale today!” - Charles R.

“Received System 3 yesterday and started using my new system already. It is very easy to use and found within a few minutes my comfort zone. How wonderful it was not to have oil shooting all over my eggs. Enclosed are photos of my street rod and eggs.

It was so nice talking to you-thank you for your time” - Linda R.

“It’s been sometime since I talked to you on the phone. So I thought I better write a letter to let you know that I’m still using my engraver on every one of my carvings, it seems like I can’t wear out the engraving bits. The carving shows were great last year. The shows I’ve entered for this year have been phenomenal. I won a lot of first place, best of division and specialty ribbons for my carvings. The Indian on the horse has won a lot of excellent ribbons, the judges and the people love the workmanship the special detail that was put into this carving. I could not have done it without my SCM engraver with the high speed of the machine made it easy for me. I also won some great ribbons on my tall ship you have in the year calendar” - Melvin

“I started engraving and carving about four years ago. Carving has always been my favorite past time. Being an artist, gunstock carving came naturally to me. My grandfather was a furniture carver from Italy. As I got used to the machine, I began to experiment with egg carving and glass engraving. Now I am practicing metal engraving. More and more people are hiring me to do their gunstocks. My husband owns a gun shop, and we go to the gun shows. We show my engravings and egg carvings at the shows. Thanks SCM for a fantastic engraver” - Carleen G.

Again thank you for your understanding and willingness to be there for us” - Louis K.

“Thank you to all your helpful staff for prompt & excellent technical advice. I hope we will have a long and mutually beneficial business association.

“I am writing you to let you know how much I am enjoying my high speed engraving and carving tool I have. So far I’ve done two walking sticks and four wall hanging carvings.

Take care and thank you” - Aaron

“This is #2 pine. I used 3 mil wash out which still provided a fairly deep cut without eating away the film. I had to stain it with the fill still on the board even though the board was finished with a seal as pine is a little porous and will accept some stain on the finished board. I was able to come back in with the power carver and add so much more detail. It is so smooth and easy to engrave with. Thanks so much…” - Paul W.

“Here are some photos of urns we carve. We personalize them. We have standard or custom designs. The 400xs is so easy to use, we can add more detail faster than ever. The photos don’t do the carving justice. Thanks for a wonderful tool” - Susan M.
