I've had my CW about 2 months ago and have began having trouble with the carving bits. The first bit and holder came with the machine and workrd fine for about 3 hrs. It became loose in the holder and I removed, cleaned, red loctite, and it still came loose after about 15 min. Bought a second bit / holder and had the same problem. Took them to a tool-maker friend and had him check them out and re-intall with a a different re loctite, plus he put a little extra torque with small vicegrips. Both came loose after about 15 minutes. Anyone else experiencing htis, and if so, does anyone have some suggestions? Thanks.

PS I just know someone will comment on my signature... and NO, I didn't try Duct Tape!
