    Default Stop Collars. half and quater sizes

    I just got the CT upgrade for my CC machine. I was just wondering what the stop collars are used for. I got a carving bit and a cutting bit and they seem to fit nicely in the CT head(head not installed yet!). What exactly are the stop collars for? I was wondering if they went between the other bits and the CT head for clearance or what? Thanks for your time.

    I believe they are designed to allow you to maintain a consistant bit depth from initial bit loading to reloading for the actual carve.

    Please reference the April 2010 Tips & Tricks Announcing the CarveTight for details.

    Bit-Length Stops
    To assure bit-length replication during project setups
    and when loading any steel shank bits during the actual
    project run, there are bit stop ring-sleeves available for
    both ¼" and ½" steel shank bits.

    They are a "spacer" to both assure a standard placement, as stated above, and to give the necessary distance between the chuck and the cutter surface. This second function assures that the full bit may be applied without the chuck contacting the wood surface.

    Once you have the original set of stop collars, you will see that you may make replacements yourself rather than ordering more.
