I was wondering if the CT may be easier to use than the Rock. Both have Allen wrenches but the Rock also has separate adapters. Is one easier than the other? Maybe someone with both can comment.

Dan,
I have not used a CT chuck, however,
I have both Ron's 1/2" and 1/4" Rock chucks.
I have not used my 1/2" chuck since I replaced my
normally used 1/2" shank bits with 1/4" ones.
However, I use an 1/8" bit in my 1/4" chuck.
Since I do everything one-handed, I can attest
to the fact that Ron's adapters are snug enough
to not cause a problem when loading bits.
Using the wrench is more difficult than handling the bits.
My only concern with Ron's chucks is the length
when adapters are used, but it generally does
not effect the single 1/8" adapter.

My dexterities won't be coming back, I have MS. I try using patterns that only require one bit but there are times it just can't be done. I have been able to adapt my carving procedure when possible. I just finished a cribbage board that required 4 different bits. What I did was upload each part requiring a bit individually. Then I just carved one part one day, another part the next day and so on. A little chancy but it worked. It sounds like the problems people were having using the RC have been addressed so I think I'll give the 30 day free trial a try and see if I like it. When I download the 30 day free trial is that going to overwrite my 1.187 so I won't be able to use it
2.0 will not overwrite 1.187. You will have them both. You will only be able to run one at a time.
Thanks, I think I'll give the 30 day free trial a try. I'll let you know what I think. I might get the 3D to, there's this eagle I want to try to carve. Does 3D have a 30 day free trial????????????????????????????
Yes, it is in a demo mode.
In demo mode, you cant actually write anything to the card however correct? You can play with designs on screen, but not carve them... that was my understanding.

Question: If CHKORTE opens a 1.187 file in 2.005 trial mode , will he be able to reopen the same file in 1.187 after it has been opened in 2.005?
