Carvetight

[cooter bec]

I was just carving along with the 1/8 cutting bit cutting some area out to make some trivets (hot plates holders). The bit fell out and stopped the design. I have tried to replace the bit but it will not go into the chuck. I have cleaned the chuck, I took the screw out completely tried to insert the bit, no luck. It seems the chuck is too small. I took a rag and cleaned out the chuck. Any ideas?

Did you take the paw out too? Was there some damage to the adapter or chuck?

[cooter bec]

what is the paw?

[bergerud]

The paw is the little piece of curved metal under the screw. It is what tightens against the bit adapter. Maybe it is somehow jammed in the CT.
