New style 1/16 carving bit?

[IamDave]

I ordered a new 1/16” carving bit BCR062P and it is different than the original that came with the CarveWright. It carves great but the new one is longer and has different flutes as shown in the photos.

Just curious if this was a design change or did I get the wrong bit?

No its the right bit. As far as design change, I don't think there was a change. It just looks like the newer one was set further into the hard-pressed adapter than your older one.

Looks different to me. Tighter flute pattern and a lot more cutting surface.

On second look, the flute still is a little different. Same bit though...

It's the time difference... got a couple of hours and coffee cups on ya.

Almost looks like a 1/8" carving bit?

Please I'm a young pup...

I do have a son that started school today though. I was up earlier than normal...

And yes, I have now had my couple cups of coffee.

Different supplier = slightly different bit.

Does tighter flutes mean hotter bit?

Don't know but I like it. A lot more cutting surface so it may run cooler. dunno
