Bit Adapter Assembly
The CompuCarve utilizes a patented quick release chuck system to make
changing bits fast and easy. To use this system the bits must first be
installed into the bit adaptors.
For 1/2" shank bits, insert threaded bit adaptor into the chuck assembly
and then insert bit into threaded collet (See Figure 20) and tighten the
collet with a wrench. Position the bit in the adapter as shown in Figure 22.
Verify that the collet is also securely tightened.
For 1/4" shank bits, insert bit into bit adapter and tighten setscrews with
supplied Allen wrench (See Figure 21). Position the bit in the adapter as
shown in Figure 22 and always make sure the setscrews are tight. For
long-term bit setup use a drop of permanent thread cement on the
setscrews.
//_ WARNING: Failure to correctly install the bit in the adapter
can result in injury, damage to the machine, or damage to the
workpiece.
