CarveWright BCR062P 1/16-Inch Carving Bit for the CarveTight Spindle System

I bought two of these and as with any Carvewright product, it's a 50/50 gamble. Installed the first one, started carving and it broke, not 20 minutes into the project. About a 1/4" of the tip broke off and it was $40 down the drain. Called LHS and they said that I had done something wrong. Not! Anyone who owns one of these machines knows that you have to treat it like a baby, maintain everything, no exceptions at all. Anyway, I still had my project installed in the machine so without adjusting a thing, I started the project again with the second bit. Went smooth as pie, 2 hour project but the first bit broke in the first 20 minutes. I know, I know, it was my fault, LHR (Carvewright). It's always the customer's fault. LOL! Anyone dealing with these people on a regular basis might find this a bit funny.

I had a similar problem. I've learned to keep spare bits on hand, particularly the 1/8" cutting bit. Break one, you're done if no spare. Yes, you can break that delicate cutting bit with hard wood, too deep a cut, or a machine that needs maintenance. But no one breaks a carving bit. I noticed that my carving bit was showing signs of wear - a bit of wood burning. So I swapped in my spare. After a 5-minute job, it broke on the next project. I swapped back my old bit, same wood, same project, same machine - no problem. Been running the old bit for 4 weeks now, no problem. Clearly the new bit was defective.

good product great service

Very good bit came on time.

No issues what so ever with using it with my carvewright.

Good deal.

Great CarveWrite accessory.
