Hi,
Does anyone know where I can get form cutters without the bearing? I want to start using form cutters but can only find them with the bearings and I am assuming vcarve requires the non-bearing kind.
Thanks for your help.

Hmm.. can you please explain that for me that don't speak english every day?Wemme wrote:Hello,
I only can get bearinged cutters here so i just grind the shaft off and trim it up pass the cutter ends.
although like many cutters a ramped Z feed is required to work the cutter in.

Thanks Chuck for the heads up.
I am going to try some for 3/4 inch stock.
Is there an easy way to tell which bit is for a specific thickness? Routerbit actually gives you this info but there are other sites I have found which have Ogee and other bits which do not spell it out for you.
What measurement would I look for in the bit to determine whether it can be used for 3/4 inch stock? Or can you use any plunge bit for any thickness of wood?
Thanks for everyones help on this.
