Brett, I found this to be perfectly explained. You may wish to update and explain how, when probe is removed from collet, the router bit/mill is the EXACT right depth in the spindle. I subscribed, and will be checking back. Thanks

Thanks a lot Donald. I think if it like this…the bit zero isn’t measuring the length of the bit in the spindle per se, it’s measuring the height of the bit off the material and storing that location. When you switch bits or from the probe to a bit, the bit returns to the bit setter tool and measures, which brings the machine back to that stored zero point. So don’t think of it as returning the bit to the exact same depth in the spindle. Think of it as returning the tip of the bit back to the zero position. The bit setter is a huge part of this process that I didn’t explain well. Without the bit setter tool, you’d have to use the bit zero and re-probe the z-height after every tool change.

Did you have to disconnect the Bit Setter? keep these comin........... regards, Rick

Thanks a lot, will do! No, the bit setter serves a different function and stays connected. The bit setter re-measures your z-axis height when changing tools. That way when you swap tools you don’t need to reset the Z zero height.

Using the BitZero V2 I find on the Z-axis it does not set the 0 (zero) as 0. It is always about 1 to 2 mm off the actual part surface. Shapoko Pro-5.

That’s weird, I’ve never experienced that issue and almost every time I double check my Z zero height manually after I use the probe as a sanity check.

Hey man , once you completed a project and load a new file to start a new project do you have to reset xyz?

The XYZ zero points will store on the machine. So unless you need to reset it due to a different thickness material or you need to move the material on your waste board, you don’t need to reset it. When I run my production items I leave the XYZ zero points the same because I’m running the same material. Plus I used my dog holes and stops to put the material in the same place every time.

@@LaserGarage I thought it did but wasn't completely sure. I ran a project and it didn't cut down to the bottom of the stock so I was going to change my settings and set it so it would go to the bottom, then I was worried if I had to reset xyz. Thanks again for all you do!

How is this a Z zero? When you put the cutting tool it will have a different length/offset. I own Shapeoko 3 XL and it is the worst garbage of machine (undescribable) or CNC software i have ever used. Pure, unrecyclable, trash.

Tell me how you really feel lol. No but seriously after setting your zero with the Bit Zero, you start your job, insert your tool, then the tool is measured with the Bit Setter. Unfortunately the 3xl does not have this feature built in, although it’s an add on, but it’s been available stock on the 4’s and later models.

@@LaserGarage Oh, so they have added a dedicated bit setter. That makes sense. I can see that they have corrected(?) many of the flaws of the 3XL (blanket rigidity in all axes and table, no option for better table, anemic motors and drivetrains, no dust collection). Hope the machine is not useless because 3XL was dreadfull. I still have nightmares and has been 3 years since i stopped using it. Especially when having a background on Haas VFM (ok, no comparison), imagine the pain.
