Ordering CarveTight

[bjbethke]

There might be a misunderstanding here. The sentence reads The Carvetight is all brand new parts, it does not say the z- truck is new. Your sending in your current z- truck to have a "new" carvetight chuck added to replace the old QC .

Mine came with a new z-truck the casting is thicker and does not need the extra washer, the rock chuck will not work with the new unit.

Can you elaborate on the Rock Chuck will not work with the new unit. I am a little lost with your comment.

The new CT chuck from LHR is a one piece spindle and chuck, and requires that the whole "Z" truck be replaced. The Rock Chuck that i produce allows you to remove just the QC Chuck, and replace it with the Rock Chuck system.

Hope this helps...

Thanks Ron, I didn't understand the comment. So if Their new chuck goes out you have to replace the whole z-truck?

I have the Rock chuck, and it is the best money I ever spent on this machine. If my z-truck was to go out, I wonder if I would be able to get a replacement z-truck that would work with the Rock Chuck?

In another post, LHR said they wer still supporting the qc. So as long as that is true, we rock users should be ok.

My understanding is that LHR is going to continue supporting the QC, so if they do they will have to continue the use of the current spindle. If for some reason they would stop supporting it, I would take care of that.

I hope so because it would be a shame if they screwed all of the Rock users by making the z-truck assembly proprietary.

My understanding is that you send them your old z truck after they give you the new one with the spindle for the core charge. Also that the new z truck and spindle are all new materials.

So I figure they are going to be swimming in old z trucks. Not very conservation or economically friendly, but I have seen stranger things.
