Product Information:

Special reciprocating action of the cutter head carves through the toughest woods with simple hand direction.

Model HCT 30A. The newest advancement in woodcarving technology! The Handcraft Carver is rugged and reliable. Aluminum die-cast body is light and vibration free. Special reciprocating action of the cutter head carves through the toughest woods with just simple hand direction. Greater pressure causes a deeper cut. For safety, free-floating action keeps blades motionless until pressed against wood. The laminated blades move at 10,000 vibrations per minute, leaving a smooth cut surface. Carvers appreciate the versatility in portability and movement, as well as accuracy and speed. A powerful 80-watt ball bearing motor delivers 10,000 vibrations per minute for 1mm cutting strokes. Includes 6' grounded cord, rear on/off switch, hanger, five blades, two spanner wrenches, and complete instructions for use. Body measures 228mm (9") long x 44mm (1-3/4") diameter, 990 grams (2 lbs.) in weight. UL listed.


  • Model HCT 30A

    Comments about AUTOMACH Power Carver :

    I ordered this for my father who has been carving for years. He absolutely loved it and liked how it handled. He said it was easy to use. The bits that come with it, don't allow him to do some of the intricate detail he would like, but they are available for purchase. He absolutely loves it. I ordered it on 12/23, and Woodcrafters had it delivered on 12/24. How awesome is that?!

    Comments about AUTOMACH Power Carver :

    I already had two carvers (a Ryobi DC500 and a no-name Chinese one) and my son just brought me this one from the Woodcraft store in Orlando, FL. It is by far the best! Lightweight metal casing (when was the last time you saw a power tool not made of plastic?), smooth running motor, pre-sharpened blades that can be put to use right out of the box, a pleasure to work with. It is worth every dollar.

    I have created some really fine sculptures with this tool. I formerly did all carvving by hand, but with the carver I can create better, larger projects much quicker and do a better job.

    I used the carver as a gouge for carving spoon bowls in very dense woods (ipe, jatoba, massaranduba) and it performed very well.

    Comments about AUTOMACH Power Carver :

    I carve a variety of woods and was skeptical of this tools ability to move enough volume to meet my needs. It surprised me in that it has the power and control to rough out my bigger pieces rapidly, removing large amounts of wood with little effort, and good surface.

    After years of use, I had my first Automach rebuilt and added a second unit. As a professional carver, it helps to have two power carvers to work with. I put thousands of hours on my first Automach before it required service. Door County Carver

    Comments about AUTOMACH Power Carver :

    The pictorial demo on the Net advertisement seemed to be very good. A carver eating through OAK wood!! I planned to use the carver on Australian Burl wood, Red Mallee to be exact.The wood is hard and dense. The Automach power carver wsould not even touch the wood; not even make a dent in it. In am profoundly disappointed in the tool. I'm still in a quandry as to whether to return the tool. BAD investment for me. DR. Harry L. Moore[@]

    I AM A NOVICE AT CARVING BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO LEARN, MIGHT AS WELL GO WITH THE BEST RIGHT FROM THE START. THIS TOOL IS LIGHT BUT STURDY. SMOOTH YET POWERFUL AND QUIET TOO. DOSE HEAT UP A BIT AFTER A WHILE. BUT SHE CAN TAKE IT. COOLS OFF QUICKLY. AS A BEGINNER I AM GLAD I STARTED OFF WITH A HIGH END TOOL SO I CAN CONCENTRATE ON MY SKILLS INSTEAD OF FIGHTING WITH A LESSER TOOL
