2. Load the new tool.
3. Click the Resume button in Carbide Motion. The BitSetter HDM will automatically measure the length of
the new tool.
8. Set Job Zero
Set job zero manually, or by using the probing sequence if you have a BitZero V1 or V2.
If you wish to change the tool after setting job zero:
1. Go to Run, then click the Load New Tool button in Carbide Motion.
2. Load the new tool.
3. Click the Resume button in Carbide Motion. The BitSetter HDM will automatically measure the length of
the new tool and update the Z-height.
9. Remove the BitZero (If Applicable)
Remove the grounding clip and place the BitZero outside of the work envelope.
10. Load the G-code File
Press the Load New File button in Carbide Motion to load the .nc file.
11. Power on the Chiller
Turn on the power switch on the front of the chiller.
12. Enable the Spindle
Press the Spindle Lock-Out button on the front-right endplate to disable the spindle lock-out function and enable
the spindle (the red LED will turn on).
13. Start the Project
Start the project in Carbide Motion.
14. Perform Toolchanges — ONLY When Prompted by Carbide Motion
Follow all prompts in Carbide Motion for toolchanges. When prompted to change the tool:
1. Press the Spindle Lock-Out button to disable the spindle (the button LED will turn off).
2. Load the new tool.
3. Press the Spindle Lock-Out button again to re-enable the spindle (the red LED will turn on).
4. Press the Resume button in Carbide Motion. The BitSetter HDM will automatically measure the length of
the new tool and update the Z-height. NOTE: If you disable the BitSetter HDM, you MUST manually re-zero
your Z-Axis.
Do NOT perform a toolchange without first being prompted by Carbide Motion. When you change the tool
unprompted,
the machine doesn’t know to measure the length of the new tool with the BitSetter HDM and to
re-zero your Z-Axis; this can result in the Z-Axis plunging too deeply into your stock.
