Thanks for the info - are you cutting the wood green or cured? - I
do most
of my rough carving on green wood.

A. Carve cured wood


Also, what's the noise level like? Comparable to to an angle
grinder
(hounds of hell wail) or more like a dremel/foredom (annoying
whine)?

A. Noise level is not bad about same as drill or router.

Best,
Harry

I just purchased the Proxxon carver a couple of weeks ago. It's
light,
minimal vibration and seems to be built solid. I have used it only
once to get the feel of it and was somewhat dissapointed. I have
found
the unit to be a bit on the weakside when carving wood. The chain
cutter/carver is not cutting into hardwood as I expected, maybe
carving basswood will be better but haven't tried it. I was planning
on using this unit mainly for roughing out but was dissapointed with
oak and butternut. I amInterested on other feedback from those who
are
using it.
