One and all,

Having purchased my CW from Jason at the Little Red Wood Shop some years ago, those early machines had the former chuck assembly vice the Carve Tight.

Just a couple of questions for anyone out there that might be able to help.

1. If someone (me) removed the old chuck and replaced it with the Roc Chuck, did that void the warranty for the machine?

2. For those who did make the switch, and have seen the new Carve Tight chuck assembly, what are the differences between the Carve Tight and the Roc Chuck?

3. With these new chucks (Roc and Carve Tight) what is the best way for indexing the bits when doing a project? In other words, if you need to replace a bit during a carving, and you did the usual setup on starting the project, how do you get the bit shakes slipped back into the chuck at the same depth you used during setup?

Any and all of the help anyone can provide with the above three questions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance!
