Since I changed the screw in my CT, it is not much louder than the dust collector. It is very quiet and the carves a much smoother than the QC.

Well ours is significantly quieter with the CT than it was with the QC. Our dust collector is noisier than the CW. The exhaust is the noisiest part and hooking it up to a non-working vacuum seems to really help that.
Sometimes I'm just totally underwhelmed!
Series "A" Craftsman with Carvetight.
Carvetight just started to fail this week as it's really loud and figging hot... I not sure if it's a bad flex shaft or the bearing are shot. I going to swap out a Rock chuck to see if it runs smoother...
funny, I just had a flex shaft fail last weekend-- started to sound like it was "rattling" and got hot. I took a chance and just swapped out the core and all was fine after that. (and I'm using a Rock Chuck and LOVE it- my point being I think it was my core that went bad, not the chuck)

Lawrence I also had a flex core fail last month for the first time but I did not catch it until it melted the flex shaft sheath. Replaced both and everything is fine and I only use the rock on both machines.

Ok , I had a bad flex shaft in the unit, the trick to find one is to remove it and twist it back and forth if you have a lot of play it's bad... I also had a bad 3/16" bit " i must of hit a screw.. so the combo was heat and the noise. yuck... thanks guys...
