GOT BIT'S ??? "YES" But will they WORK ???
Got Bit's ? But will they work ???
Well Ladies and Gentleman I was going to keep this venture under wraps until I had better information but I think I may be on to something that could benefit everyone interested in pushing the envelope of using the Carve Machine.
As you may have seen I am operating on three fronts, Laser, Carve, and Sublimation. Knowing this is primarily a Carve Forum you have accepted me into your community with my interesting posts and sometimes off topic replies from time to time.
Yesterday I ordered some bits for my Carve Machine that I think will work but rather well. Rather than keeping quiet with my find until I test the theory, I believe sharing this at this time is warranted.
I ordered the bits from Johnson Plastics my Sublimation and Plastic Equipment supplier. My Contact Don Shaw tells me he would welcome orders from Carve Customers.

I have a PA Tax ID for the business but I asked him if anyone could order without a business and he said Yes. With my JDS Industries Plastic Supplier the first question they ask for is for your Tax ID number.
The bits do have a problem being too long but I was thinking of using my Chop Saw looking Chain Saw Chain sharper with the thin blade grinder to slowly chop the bit to length. Using safety glasses and water cooling as they are solid carbide. Any recommendations on cutting them is requested, I am charting new territory for my shop here.
FEED RATE could be a problem here with the bits, a program upgrade to have the ability to adjust the feed rate down to prevent broken bits and machine damage is going to be a necessary evil that has the potential to increasing the customer base of this product.
I think you are restricted to 3 pictures per post so here goes a few posts to aid you in your evaluation of this product. Saw one bit that could be used to cut balsa patterns. The 1 and 2 fluted router mills really got my attention.
