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.

I'm new to carving, with most of my woodworking done on the lathe. I got this to add embellishment on some of my turned items, and it's going to be a bit of a learning curve for me to get any good at it. The Automach was recommended to me by friends who are professional woodworkers, and I'm quite pleased with it so far. Any shortcomings in the final pieces are definitely the fault of the guy holding the tool, not the tool itself.The tool is rock solid, not terribly heavy, but you know you're holding it after a bit of use.One thing to consider is that you will need to find a way to sharpen the chisels, and a way to hold them while you're doing so. They are reasonably sharp out of the box though, so work with 'em to figure out what kind of sharpening gear you're going to need.Not sure why the review form is asking me to "help customers find the right toy" looking for an age and whether it was suitable for that age or not. This is not a toy. It's a power tool that can cause serious injury if used incorrectly, so take appropriate safety measures.

I went to undergrad for printmaking at a school that had one of these, and I fell in love. I work on big slabs of wood for printmaking, and my wrists aren’t great - this carves through wood like butter. Finally bought my own, 10 years later. Still fantastic equipment. Would not recommend for kids or teens.

This is an outstanding tool works extremely well for carving makes it a lot easier than sitting there with a hammer and a chisel trying to cut into wood. I would recommend this for anybody that likes to work with wood.

Very well made tool. I have paired it with Flexcut blades and brass shims. This thing really removes the waste very quickly. Surprisingly ergonomic given its shape. I have not experienced any hand fatigue using it for extended periods. I bought it for waste removal, but I think it is more versatile and can be used for fine/finish work as well. Based on 5-6 hours of heavy use on yellow pine, I would highly recommend. I much prefer this to a rotary tool since this doesn’t produce any more dust than chisels/gouges. Frequent lubrication changes are recommended and very easy to do.

The AUTOMACH carver is the best power tool purchase I have made in a long time. I've put about 50 hours on it since I received it, and found it to meet most of my carving needs. It works on both green and seasoned wood-- differently, of course, but equally well. The piece in the photo is a mask on a seasoned pine plank. Clearing the negative background took minutes, and going around the drawn lines was easy.As with any wood carving project, attention has to be paid to grain direction, but not nearly as much as with standard hand tools. The AUTOMACH will change direction pretty much as you wish it to do, without much--or any--tear out.Another major benefit of the tool is the lack of stress on hands, wrists, and arms that I, as an older carver, have found to be an issue with manual carving tools. It's not that the tool doesn't get heavy after an hour, but it's not like using a mallet and chisel, or even a hook knife. Learning to handle the tool equally well in either hand is helpful.Because of the length of the tool, it has its limits if you are trying to carve, say, a deep bowl. There will be a point where you will have to switch to another type of gouge. I have done a couple of spoons, though, and except for a few turns with a hook knife toward the end of bowl shaping, the AUTOMACH works very well. If you have a spoon blank ready to go, the tool can make quick work of almost all of the shaping.Another benefit of the reciprocating action of the blade is the lack of dust. The blade slices, and there is virtually no dust. I particularly noticed this when working on a piece of seasoned walnut lately. As walnut dust is very toxic, I was concerned that even using the AUTOMACH would offer a risk in cutting. After making a series of cuts in the piece, though, I removed the dust mask I was wearing, ran my finger along the cuts, and, when I saw nothing, smelled the wood--only a very faint smell was present (and dry walnut, to me, stinks).I bought a set of Flexcut roughing gouges to go along with the set of blades that come with the tool. Some of the blades that came with it were sharp, and some weren't. Adding the Flexcut blades greatly expands the use of the tool, and they fit the AUTOMACH just fine.The AUTOMACH is not the same tool as an angle grinder with a lot of cutting wheels for major sculpting of larger pieces of wood, but it is excellent for small pieces of sculpture, utensils, and relief carving.
