New long bits question

[cestout]

Can the 2" bits be used with 1.187? Seems there would need to be a change in the bit choosing list.

No, it requires designer+firmware 2.003 or higher.

Almost like ice picks! Since you are a beta tester did you run any tests with these? Looking at the description in the store it only states to use best or optimal settings. Any other insight?

I know for the normal 1/8" carving bit it state for soft materials only...

I think I see a typo:

The CarveWright 1/8" Long Carving Bit allows for 2" deep carvings.
Max cutting depth with this bit is 2.125 inch.

The 1/8" long carving bit comes with a CarveTight adapter
only
