Might be a dumb question, but how do you tell when a bit is dull?

Another strange event with the machine. After doing two lengthy carves involving thru-the board cut ( 1/8 inch cutting bit) I encountered a Z axis stall on the third project.
After reloading two...
I guess Carvewright staff took the day off since I can't raise anyone there. Anyhow, after an absence of 3/4 months, I fired up Designer and received a splash screen asking me whether I wanted to...
Thanks Al. However, I went to the workshop and decided to check the bearings on the truck and they seemed all righ although at times the truck dances as it approaches the bit plate.
But the good...

Gues that's why my last project ran okay since I always use maksing tape for the brass roller to ride on. Did go tothe parts manual looking for the size of the O ring but there is no mention of the...
