How to Use the BitZero to Find and Set Job Zero
Using the BitZero V2 to set job zero is much faster than setting job zero by hand.
To find and set job zero on one corner of your stock material:
1.
Make sure the BitZero V2 is plugged into the top connector on the outside of the machine enclosure.
2.
Connect to and home your Nomad 3.
3.
Place the included interlock key on the face of the interlock. The interlock key is specifically provided to
allow you to set job zero with the protective door open.
4.
When Carbide Motion prompts you to load a tool, install the

probing pin into the loosened collet. See
NOTE:
While you can use an end mill with the BitZero V2, it is better to use a probing pin because the flutes of an
end mill don’t always register against the
touch probe at the full radius of the tool. A probing pin is consistent all
the way around, so no matter how it’s rotated in the spindle, it will provide the most accurate results possible.
WARNING:

NOT
use the interlock key to override the safety interlock while machining. Always close the
machine door while the spindle is on.
