Have you ever had the desire to carve an owl inside a branch? Or how about something more reasonable like a custom wood sign? The Maker Hub’s Foredom Power Carver can help you do just that!
The power carver consists of a hand piece that is driven by a motor. The motor is connected via a flexible shaft that allows easy movement of the hand piece without the weight of the motor. There are many cutting tools available for use with the hand piece.
Some of the uses include sanding, carving and cutting. The most common uses are creating custom designs in wood and polishing small projects. Check out this video to see how it works. For more information, check out the Maker Hub’s Wiki page.
The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.
Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.
