The Carbide3D BitSetter is an automatic tool offset probe for your Shapeoko that makes it easy to run jobs using multiple tools without the need to stop and re-zero manually.
BitSetter measures the length of the cutter in your spindle and, combined with Carbide Motion, automatically resets your Z-axis zero point to reflect the new length, making tool changes simple and straightforward.
Shapeoko 3 BitSetter (square version) works on all Shapeoko 3 Standard, XL, XXL machines running Carbide Motion 428 or later. The Shapeoko 3 BitSetter includes an adapter board to allow you to connect both the BitSetter and the BitZero.
Shapeoko 4 BitSetter (rectangular version) works on all Shapeoko 4 Standard, XL, XXL machines running Carbide Motion 428 or later.
The Shapeoko Pro comes with a BitSetter already installed, no additional BitSetter needs to be purchased.
