CW did it right with the CarveTight.

I have to say i am so glad i upgraded to the CT. before i would all ways worry if my carve was going to turn out right, or i would only be able to get a few carvings done before the bit screwed up. i stopped carving because of all the problems i had with the old QC chuck.

now i feel confident that things are not going to get screwed up. i have already carved more in the 2 months that i have had the CT than in the two years i have had the CW.

Hi all!
Installed a new CT in one of my compucarves the other day, just use it for the 1st time
Ran it on best, cutting pine, the cut was the best I have seen in 4 yrs of use a Compucarve or Carvewright.
Keep up the good work

Imagine if ball bearings were only used to hold static things like Hydraulic Hoses and Air Hoses and the QC was never invented.... Imagine the much different reputation of the CW.... A good Concept but at 10K +- RPM's with Side Force.... Not so good in the long run... Then throw in the Average Frugal Woodworker that Resists the idea of replacing that Worn QC until it Throws a Bit At YOU.....

Yes, the CT was a GREAT IDEA..... And THANK YOU "Saint" Ron for the ROCK.... Yes, I am a Recovering Catholic...

If it wasn't for the Rock I don't think we would have seen the CT . Love my Rock but wouldn't hesitate to have gone with the CT if it was offered. VAST improvement over the original QC.

Just a quick question. Does the rock and CT grip the bit in the same way? I know my CT has an inner piece the pushs on the bit shaft , but I'm not sure how the rock does.

Yes, the Rock and CT hold the bit in the same manner, that little inner piece tighten against the bit arbor.

Can the CT bits be used in the Rock?
