Carit is all about saving time. Stopping you from having to get up from the bench. Those couple of minutes here and there add up over a month. Our mission was to answer as many of those questions as possible, as fast and simply as we could, and preventing that loss of time switching tasks. Keeping in the flow 🙏

My bad 😳 JCK 2026, last day, come say hi!

So setup day at JCK. Forklifts, crates, trucks everywhere, and a booth that’s still just a pile of boxes. Not gonna lie though, this bit’s my favourite. Right before it all comes together. Bench is nearly there 🙌

If your prep is wrong, no amount of skill will get you clean beads. Get the prep right and the setting almost does itself.

Android is Live!

Appreciate everyone’s patience on that one.

A ton of new features have been added since launch, I forgot to even mention the sizing calculator now shows pricing for sizing stock. I’m sure I’m forgetting some as well.

Carit is all about saving time. Keeping your hands working as much as possible. Putting everything you need to check and reference, right there at your fingers, for you to get the info you need and get back to working.

There is a ton more coming soon in the next couple of weeks. And I’m going to be making some more in depth videos showing how to get the most out of the app, how to save even more time. And just general deeper dives into specific tools.

A lot of that content I will share on the .app page so make sure you’re following if you’d like to learn more about how it can save you time.

Stay tuned. This is just the beginning 👌

I am consistently blown away by this drill. It doesn’t look so capable but when paired with M3 power unit it really shines.

Every other drill just feels huge after getting used to something so tiny.

On larger jobs with a ton of holes to drill or where I’m really jogging out metal with large burs I do reach for for the larger one, so I’m not sure I’d be happy with just the nano, but after using it got a year or two now I don’t think I’d want to live without it!

coming fast, end of May, are you going?

Honestly, I was speechless. They looked even better under microscope than they do in photos and videos.

Shows are great for this sort of thing, meeting people, and checking out the wild things people are making.

If you’re coming out to JCK this year, come say hi!

Thank you to for bringing these by for me to check out!

Still doing calculations the old fashioned way?app

Started because I couldn’t find a decent diamond size chart. So I made one. Then I added a carat counter. Then everything else I wished I’d had at the bench. Carit, out now. Link in bio.
Android will be coming soon.app
