Thanks Al, I have been wondering about the 2.0 bit problems with the rock chuck. Thanks for clarifying it.

I have the Rock and the Firmware has disabled them completely Don't upgrade to 2.0 stick with 1.187.
I have read the other thread "is 2.0 worth it" or whatever. The problem is just the CT bits in the rock right?

Well they also changed the fact you can't pre load bits.
I think pre load bits was where if a project had 3 bits you left the last bit to be checked or the first one that was going to carve and let it measure it in place of the 1st two to save time. Then when it actually needs the other bits you load them and the machine finds the length different and you just say "It's ok... use the new length" and off it went....
This is the first bit checks before carving where the last bit checked actually starts carving. So I believe if you lie to the machine and the machine does not find the requested bit to be the exact CT bit Length the machine goes "Tilt"....
"Tilt" for the younger guys comes from the old Mechanical Pin Ball Machines where a "Shake" Senor in the unit detected you bumping the machine with your hips to influence the 1 inch metal ball to take a desired path. When the machine detected a Shake it would slam a hammer inside the machine frame making a slapping sound and the "Tilt" light would come on and the machine would go dead and your ball would follow gravity and exit the machine play area... Ending that play... "Tilt".... #$&@!@#%^&
