Where to Get Additional Bits?

[sundog2001]

I've read that you can't get bits from CarveWright at this time. Are these available from Sears? Can I use any "high quality" bits of the type listed in the owner's manual?

call or email CW. they told me they have some bits in stock, and some are on order.

mOST ANY ROUTER BIT THAT HALFWAY RESEMBLES THE PICTURE WILL WORK. The machine measures the bit anyway.

And will void the Sears warranty if it is found during repairs (bit gets jammed, or spins loose and embeds itself into something).

HTM,
What part of the sears warranty would this void, using another bit in the machine?

dO YOU USE ONLY SEARS BITS IN YOUR SEARS HANDHELD ROUTER?
Router bits are router bits, whether there sears or whoever.
As long as there 1/4" or 1/2" shank. The later probably being better quality than sears.
Just make sure not to use bits with bearings on the bottom
Any plunge bit should work, just match it up somewhat close to the picture.
i HAVE USED A 3/4" CLASSICAL INSTEAD OF 1/2" CLASSICAL AS THE SOFTWARE INDICATES AND ALSO A 1/4" SPIRAL ENDMILL IN PLACE OF THE 1/8" SPIRAL ENDMILL FOR DRILLING 1/4" ADJUSTABLE SHELF HOLES AND NO PROBLEMS.

I have used other bits as well. The CW people will tell you that every bit manufacturer is different, and they probably are, but I have use other brands in the ball/round nose and others. As long as they are secured properly there shouldn't be any problem.

You can all argue with me, or read the inside cover of your owner's manual. Its that simple. Do what you want with your money, but be aware of the possible consequences.
