layout and machine maintenance are both crucial.
Broke one bit on first deep carve doing just what you did trying to save time.
broke the second one on a rotary carve because the keypad side cover switch did not work. So the cut motor stopped but the rest of the machine did not. Use the keypad stop button it always works.
I havent ordered more yet, just limiting carves to shallower carves, some with the standard bit in an er11 adaptor (not carvewright approved) to attain deeper than 1"
