What happens with the 1/16 cutting bit? It is solid carbide, so will I have to replace that also? I purchased one when they first arrived, but have never had the chance to use it.

Hi Neil (AskBud),
I spoke with CarveWright a few days ago specifically about the 1/16th Cutting Bit. They are working on sourcing an adapter so that it can be used with the CarveTight, but don't have a firm release date yet. I know they are very anxious, and so am I! I have plans for future projects using that bit and I to upgrade my other machine to the CarveTight too. In the meantime, I'm keeping the QC on that one machine, while I'm waiting!

This is the official word from LHR:
The 1/16" Cutting Bit is a carbide bit, but it already has a hard pressed sleeve on it that makes it into a 1/4" shank. It requires the split collet, but not the stop sleeve.
Michael - you may have received some wrong information a couple of days ago.

These 1/16" bits, are they flat on the bottom or a ball like our carving bits? How many flutes on these? Just wondering....

Thanks Ron, I'm thinking of ordering another 1/4" sleeve from you so I don't have to keep regauging every time I change tools. It's easy since I took the tube the bit came in and cut it to length and that is what I use to set the length of my tools. Do you have a sleeve for this 1/16" end mill? One that would go from 1/2 spindle down to this 1/16? Is this an 1/8" shank on the 1/16"?
CJ
greetings
How much quiter is this new bit truely? Been given much information that has a lot to be desired by LHR, How about an answer from the users please before spending more money. Glad Carve Wright came up with some sort of design for this, was designing something simular to start turning on the lath.
Carved the round shell box as demo for the wife, was impressed and gave the allocation to purchase all needed with this new set up. Bean counters shhhhhhhhhhh! Need less to say she was impressed. Have three art shows for this summer that we plan on attending, she will deal with the people.
She purchased a new CPU (HP) with a quad something and high powered thing that realy converts the jgp's, and it makes bitmaps out of them! I finally look like I know what I'm doing?
WHERE'S THE SPELL CHECK?

Fraustrations run high with this tool! Some have it easy and some not so easy. All help is appreciated? But respect each person when his day is going south, the dead line is approaching, and the @#$% has given the fatal error!
Hi Jerry,
I have 1/2 to 3/8, 1/2 to 1/4, and 1/2 to 1/8 Rock Sleeves, all in stock. I think that the shank on the 1/16 cutout bit from LHR has a 1/4" sleeve pressed on it that is permanent, making it a 1/4 shank tool. I do have some 1/16 cutout bits in stock, depending on the length of cut you would like. Mine have 1/8" shanks.
Hope this helps!
Ron

Hi Mike,
It sounds like you have been using your machine for a while, but are pretty new to the forum... Welcome aboard!
I think what you are asking is how much quieter the spindle is rather than the bit... I am unsure about the CT spindle, but the Rock Chuck system is significantly quieter, and because of the reduced runout, you will see a noticeable difference in the finish quality. If you search for "Rock" you will find a ton of information describing the satisfaction people have had with the Rock Chuck system. You can check out information by clicking on the links below in my signature.
Happy Carving!
