Default Power carver

We have been doing quite a number of HDU blasted, sculpted & carved signs. We have been using the Proxxon reciprocating power carver with Flexcut blades to do the "hand-carved" signs. This tool works great, but it is starting to wear out and we are looking for something a little more industrial strength. Just wondering if any of you have any opinions on what kind of power carver works well for you.
Thanks!

Hi mate, I have never used or heard of a power carver other than a dremil, a small drill like tool thats sold for EU and UK markets I did however find this link that you may find useful. http://www.woodcarvingillustrated.co...r-carver-7608/ Im sure that many here would like to here more about this method of HDU carving, so anything else that any one can add, would be much appreciated.
