I am looking to diversify my business and move away from cabinets. I run a one-man shop and wish to remain that way, however, with the onset of serious back pain and serious lack of "get up and go" (not to mention the serious lack of available work) I'm thinking about other projects that might pay the bills. I've dabbled in carving and simple signs but never took the time to learn a lot about design software. I currently use an old version of Artcam insignia, but I'm looking to upgrade soon to take advantage of some of the new features like the textured background etc... I'm also interested in the Widgeworks products like the drag knife and diamond bit and also the shopbot probe. Do any of you guys have any experience with these tools? What kinds of products have you made and what about the durability of the bits? Thanks for your input. Kip
