    IS anyone actually doing it.... Using a 1/8 inch Cutting Bit with a LHR Pressed On Sleeve in a 1/2 inch ROCK?

    The reason I ask is the slight length difference between the Chucks and the problem with mounting a 1/8 inch cutting bit in a ROCK TOO LONG..... It gives you a Fault....

    Just Curious..... Not beating up on LHR again......

    yes I use the 1/8", 1/16" carving and 3/16" carving and Mill CT bits and they work fantastic! I recomend them for the Rock not seeing any depth issue's.

    I just finished installing the CT and everything worked like a charm. One would have thought that Al Who did the change out (OK... well maybe wasn't done that quick). However, the instructions that came with it were right on the money and I made a test carve and all is good so "Houston ... we have contact and are back in service". I am using the Rock Chuck 1/2: sleeve with my bits since that's what I was using before and the sleeve works fine in the CT. Now I'm going to have to heat up the old Rock Chuck on the old spindle so I can remove it and put the old QC back on so I can return it and get my CT rebate. Course if I was like Al Who I would have already removed it around 2am while doing 3 other things at the same time! ; ) Ain't sayin'... just sayin'..

    Have not had my Compucarve long, about a month, but it was long enough to convince me to upgrade. When I followed the directions everything went swimmingly, where I deviated I had problems. You how guys don't need instructions, these directions do work when they are followed. My problems were not tightening the upper z-truck bolts in order and then not making sure all wires were returned to where they were, so the y-axis was short and the bit could not get to the touch plate on the right. The bolts kept the z-truck from sitting properly. Overall it was a good learning experience and I am just it hung to Carve my niche as it were.

    I do want to point out maybe a few minor details... The Rock Chuck tolerances are much closer (near zero runout on the bit), and the clamping mechanism is considerably different in terms of the clamping force, and what the slipping torques are on the bit.. Also note that the Rock Chuck is a dynamically balanced design, and as long as you dont change the working parts inside it will remain so...
