Thank you. New subscriber here! That definitely looks like something that would be very useful, but I have a few questions.... How do you deal with spoilboard surfacing? I take it the setter is level with the top of the spoilboard. When you surface the spoilboard and lose a little thickness, how do you accommodate for the loss of spoilboard thickness? Is there an adjustment on the physical tool setter? Or is the adjustment done on the Masso, and if so, how is that done?

Hi Woody, thanks for subscribing! In my case, using the DashMade Woodworking tool setter, it sits below the surface of my QCW waste board at least 1/8”, maybe a bit more. So I can run several .02” or .03” resurfacing passes before it’ll get down to the level of the tool setter. Once I do eventually get down that low I’ll just replace the waste board slats and start over. You can see how I dealt with surfacing my waste board in the video linked below. kzitem.info/news/bejne/yWp-l3aroHelg2Usi=FjGcjl0aJhL8WqJY Please note: I’m not familiar with the new Onefinity tool setter so I can only comment on the DashMade version I have now, and it’s perfect.

Hey Mr. Mitchell. Me again. Now that I have my tool setter up and running, I have a question. I may have missed this set up in one of your videos but not sure. When my Masso says it is time for a tool change, it stops the carve, shuts the router and vacuum off like it should, and notifies me for which tool to put in next. But, the Z does not raise up and the X,Y stays in the same position of the last gcode command executed prior to asking for the tool change. Is there a way to edit the post processor or a setting in Masso to have the router raise the Z and move to the position over my tool setter for the tool change? Currently, I have to manually jog it all over there.

I ordered mine (elite foreman) back in early January with the qcw bottom mount along with the touch probe qcw mount assembly from onefinity, hopefully in a couple more weeks I will have my unit here, oh I also got the pwn 2.2kw 220volt water cooled spindle. I also went on Etsy to Rowdy’s page, a couple others page and picked up a few other things. Covers, ball screw wipers, and coolant line clips that go on the drag chain. I watch all your episodes on the onefinity elite, even built my bench with the kreg 64” x 64” like yours, I added 2 doors, 3 drawers and a compartment with computer fans for the electronics components. I’m in the process of building a 10’ x 12’ room that I will insulate and put heat/ac split unit in. I got the harbor freight dust collector unit that I already upgraded to a bigger fan, and to a 6” 2 stage Oneida xl with 35 gallon steel drum. Tested that out and it did increase the flow quite a bit over stock, had to make a new flange to accept the 6” inlet. Oh and one more thing GO CHIEFS!!!!!! And I live in Texas but love the Chiefs.

Mitchell, maybe you can clear this up for me. I have been intrested in a tool setter for a while. I watched this video when you first posted, but could not understand how it works. Do you still have to use the proble block to set up initially? That is, when I first set up my project, I would use the proble block to set X, Y and Z, then the spindle would move to the tool setter to define Z for the rest of the project and return to the tool setter for each bit change just as if I would be using the proble block to reset Z? Next question, how does the Z set without a connection to the spindle? Is it tripping inside the tool setter when the bit touches off? You did not explain this in either of your videos.
@MitchellsWoodwork

Hi Jim, thanks for the question. WITHOUT TOOL SETTER: You use the probe block for your initial X, Y, Z zeroing of your material at the very beginning of the project. Then, assuming your project has more than one tool path, you’ll manually load each tool path individually, then re-probe the Z with the probe block after each tool change. WITH TOOL SETTER: You use the probe block for your initial X, Y, Z zeroing of your material at the very beginning of the project. You can now put the probe block away, you’re finished with it. Assuming your project has more than one tool path, you save ALL tool paths to ONE gcode file and send it to your machine. Your machine will automatically prompt you for each tool change, and the tool setter automatically measures each new bit and sends it back to work. So much simpler than loading each file separately, then probing each time. I can’t really comment on HOW the tool setter adjusts the spindle height for each different tool length, I just know it does it. I’m just an old Arkansas country boy and I ain’t got much book learnin’. 😉 My next Onefinity video will be covering the differences between a probe block and a tool setter. There still too much confusion about this even though they perform two totally different functions.

Also, I learned a little something if you install a tool setter. As we know, it is within the boundaries of the cutting area. As it should be. If you go to put grid lines on your spoilboard, remove the tool setter. A 30 V bit will slice through it.

Looking at mine now, I'm not seeing a way to secure it to the table. Mine has leveling feet, which I believe are standard for the QCW. However, I'm sure there's got to be an option to mount the QCW somehow, in case you wanted to mount it vertically. The standard (non-QCW) feet that come with the Elite are drilled with 4 mounting holes each.

I don't get it... how does your machine know where your material is, if you don't also probe for X and Y on a corner of your material? I don't yet own a CNC, waiting for my Onefinity (my first ever CNC), but just from videos that I've watched online, using a probe made sense to me and I understand that the machine needs to know where your material is - and that's done by probing x/y. But if you use a tool setter instead of a probe, I really don't see how your machine knows where the material is positioned on the board... What am I missing?
@MitchellsWoodwork
Жыл бұрын
That's a great question! Congrats on your upcoming Onefinity, you're starting out with the best! The tool setter and the x, y, z probe perform two separate functions. As you stated, the probe tells the CNC where the material is located, and how thick the material is. And you can get by without a toolsetter, for sure. A toolsetter is not a necessity, but it sure makes life easier. In a nutshell, if you don't have a toolsetter you have to probe your Z after each tool change, because each tool is a different length. If your project uses 5 tools, you're probing 5 times. With the toolsetter, you only probe the Z once, and that’s during the initial probing (X, Y and Z) when you’re setting up for the carve. The beauty of a toolsetter is that regardless of how many tool changes you have to do, the toolsetter measures the length of the new bit and sends it on its way to make sawdust. I hope this helps you, but if you need further assistance contact me through my digital business card below. Thanks! dot.cards/mitchellswoodwork

@MitchellsWoodwork

Well thank you! You must be a southerner, as well? If you’re referring to the square aluminum touch probe that comes with the Elite series, it is used to set your X, Y, and Z before you begin your carve. It is also used to manually re-zero each new bit used in the project, if your project has more than one tool path. The tool setter (or Z Zer.0 as shown in this video) performs two totally different tasks. For one, it allows you to upload multiple tool paths at one time, which is impossible without a tool setter. It also automatically measures the new bit for each successive tool path in the project. Otherwise you’d have to manually re-zero each bit before each tool path is run. You don’t HAVE to have a tool setter, but they sure make life easier.

Two totally different tools and functions. The touch probe sets your X, Y and then the Z height of your material or wasteboard. The Bit Setter measures the length of your router bit, then the controller uses that measurement to recalibrate your new Z height for the new bit. I covered it more in depth in the follow up video linked below. kzitem.info/news/bejne/zGd-3mywbKejd3osi=SZEaIa1jECq_EuaD

@MitchellsWoodwork

Yes, sort of. Your original Z as set by the probe block at the beginning never changes. After a bit change, the tool setter measures the length of the new bit and adjusts the spindle height to maintain the original Z with the new bit. It’s the most useful and inexpensive upgrade I’ve added to my machine, and I highly recommend the one made by DashMade that I linked in the description. Hope this helped you, but if you need more info just let me know.
