Perfect for carving all wood types. The rapid cutting action of the SGM (12,000 cuts per minute) allows the ability to do fine work like adding details as well as roughing out. Cleanly carving with no dust and virtually no effort is ensured. The tool is exceptionally quiet, yet very powerful due to the permanent magnet motor. It is ideal for small to medium carving projects, working on furniture, reconditioning antiques, lino cutting, delicate paint removal and working on plaster of Paris. The ergonomic design and the light weight (only 1.5 lb) allow to control it very easily with one hand, only. The tool is very safe, as the reciprocating action does not start until the gouge is pressed to the wood. The unit has a fibreglass reinforced POLYAMIDE casing and features a multiple ball bearing construction in a die-cast aluminum gear housing. It comes with 3 razor sharp bi-metallic knives (each one U, V and flat shape) in a durable plastic case. The SGM also accepts a variety of Flexcut reciprocating chisels.

Power Carver by Proxxon 38642 Mar 16, 2010
I use the Proxxon power carver for my wood carving hobby. It is very easy to use and small enough to work on small projects. It is easy to handle and light weight enough so in many instances I can hold the project in my left hand and carve with my right. This saves a lot of time in having to vice it down and then reposition it for a different angle. I intend to use it on projects around the house as well. It can make precision cuts that are hard to do with chisel and hammer.
It has the safety feature of only being activated when it comes in contact with the wood. It does not move the chisel tip(s) unless pressed against the wood.
I wish I had found this product sooner. And the supplier gave me excellent service!

Best of its price range Jun 20, 2009
There are several power carvers on the market. I have bought four, each from a different maker. Proxxon and Ryobi both make reliable carvers for the hobbyist. The other two are not even worth mentioning. There is also a Japanese maker called Automach that manufactures professional grade carvers, but they can cost 10 times as much. The list price of the "hobbist grade" Automach is 4 times as expensive as the Proxxon carver. The Proxxon carver is the best of its price range and provides enough power for hobbyist range work. If you consider the alternative (either waste of money or too expensive) it should be easy to see that this is the carver to buy. If I were to buy another similar machine, I would not bother with another hobbyist tool and go straight for the thousand dollar professional carver.
The user should be warned that this machine can get quite hot when used on the harder hardwoods (such as elm). Wear a thick glove to prevent burning your fingers and put the tool down to cool after about 10-20 minutes of continuous use. So if you are serious about carving, you should own two to use alternately. Carving softwood and softer hardwood is less of a problem. (Sliced through cherry and teak like butter.)
I am often surprised that this tool is not more popular. I suppose it appeals to a different kind of wood worker. It is actually quite versatile. It can be used for general carving or squaring out a mortise after drilling the hole. Anything that can be done with a conventional chisel and mallet or carving knife. Very useful for carving architectural ornaments like the wood base for a door knocker or a small wooden medallion for a pendant light. This is my second most frequently used power tool after the Proxxon rotary tool. Highly recommended.

Quick carving tool! Jul 22, 2008
The makers clearly intended you to 'make' your own handle for the tool-changing clamp; It's not easily used free-hand so a nice 3/4" dowel or other piece does the job.
This tool carves wonderfully - fairly quiet until you engage the hammer to start cutting.
