Carving Bits

[Canemaker]

How does the cw know whether I have the 3/8, 1/8 or 1/16 carving bit in place. Is there a
location in the software (Designer) where I specify which bit I'm using? Thanks.

Will the 1/16 carving bit allow me more detail?

[CNC Carver]

Yes you pick the bit in designer based on what type of carving or cut out you are doing.

Maybe, I'm looking in the wrong place. When I select bit my only options are:
"ballnose, ogee, roundover, v-groove, straight and keyhole. I don't see carving
bits listed anywhere. Maybe a stupid question or my eyes are getting older everyday.
Thanks again.

You can change bit to carve with in board settings.
Right click on board it will bring up a box -go to last setting and open up select bit you will use.

[Canemaker]

So the Ballnose is actually the carving bit? Is that how I understand it?

[Canemaker]

Well thanks for the information, let's just chalk that up as a Senior Moment!
And probably many more to come. lol

Hope this is in the right place
I bought er11 adapter so i can use carbide bits instead of the adapter they are selling on CW
I was going to order the 1/2" and 1/4 spacers but the shipping is outrageous. 12.00? Come on CW get real.
Any way is there something else i can use for the correct spacing.
Thanks

Yes , I use the drill set collars on my 1/4" and 1/2" shanks for the "V" bits and edge bits
