Would it be possible for one of the 'beta' testers who have a rock chuck to do testing if they are not available at Carvewright? I realise they are not the product or responsibility of the Carvewright organization but for many users they were an answer to issues early in the development process. Now there a many machines equipped with them and the users would like to know if there is a benefit to purchasing the new software. If I have to add the price of converting my machine to the carvetight in addition to the software purchase?? Not sure if I want to spend that much, maybe economical for those using the carver for a business but I bet there are more of the hobbyists out there that are facing the same problem. Would love to buy the new longer bits, makes the new software more attractive.

I think that the Rock is going to have problems. The bit will be 1/2" or so longer than in the CT. Since I think the bits are as long as they can be, I bet they will not even get above the bit plate. You would have to take off the CT adapter (or push it another 1/2" onto he bit).

I also worry that they will have to be really sharp to work. There will be a lot of cutting edges cutting at once.
I've cut my fingers on them every time I've handled one. It's better than just rubbing on the wood & starting fires, eh?
I would for sure be using the feather setting for doing any carving just to make sure the bit is eased into the carving area.

feathers 1/8" or less when diving deep are totally useless anyhow.
