New long bits question

[liquidguitars]

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 not got a chance to test it.

ohh it said 1/8 bit long...

[liquidguitars]

come to think of it looks like a 1/4" shank.

I thought for sure they would have 1/2" shanks. The good news is that the taper is so slight that it will not cut into the sides so much.

Isn't this great! I have been hoping for an inch all of these years and now we get 2+ inches. How this is going to change things boggles the mind.

They look fantastic, I also like a 3/16 version with the CT.

1/2 would cost more all around so I like that its a .25" shank end with the adapter.

i have one machine out of the 4 that will not accept a long bit, i have a very narrow window on length of bit put in it, matter of fact ran into that today trying to use the 3/16 carving bit that has a ct sleeve, it works in all the other machines, so my question is if i do get the 2.whatever designer that this long bit will work in this i believe a ( B ) series machine

I run some tall 3/8 bits in the CW and normally can fit it, could be you crank it up a bit first.

I use a 1/2" straight bit some times and I have to stop the spin during the bit check to insure it stops before going down for the touch..

Skeeterman are you using the CarveWright chuck or a Rock?
