BitSetter Installation and Setup Guide
The Carbide3D BitSetter is an automatic
tool offset probe. This device measures
the length in the spindle and, combined
with Carbide Motion, automatically
resets your Z-axis zero point to reflect
the new length, making tool changes
simple, straight forward, and FAST!
With the BitSetter, you only need to set
the Z-axis zero point of your material
once before running each project. All
subsequent tool changes will
automatically be re-zeroed.
