Carbide bits need CarveTight adapter hard pressed from us. This is a recent incident. One of many we have come across. Adapter does matter.
You are absolutely right, I forget that not everyone knows this.
I have other adapters (not carvewright) that will hold them as I need the versatility to purchase non carvewright bits when I am on a schedule to finish a project.
