I used these for the first time today. I like it. Once you mount all the bits to be used on a job, you only need to zero the first one. Saves time.

I am not usually one to review something like this because it always comes out like a slander ad or a sales pitch.... but HOLY CRAP! This is the best add-on I have gotten for my Shapeoko 3 without a doubt. I got one and decided to try it out on a scrap I had laying around and it went off without a hitch when going from a 1/4" Endmill to a 1/8" endmill to a 60degree V-bit on the same job. No bit setter needed for the changes, just throw in the new one and hit continue. Watch the video again and just go buy one already. You can thank me later for the saved time and headache when running multiple bits on the same job! PwnCNC knocked this one out of the park without a doubt.

This is exactly what I was looking for.. The Struggling with the depth of the V-bit v/s the end mill was real. Thank you for sharing just ordered one.. And now I know where to get those bad ass dust boots.

I just wanted to say I appreciate your videos. As someone with a new Shapeoko, they have been very helpful. :)

Best little tool from PwnCNC. Thank you for sharing.

Another informative video. Thanks Chris!

unreal idea. will be printing my own

This is awesome and I imagine will be a time saver for me especially now with me moving into more cnc production with multiple bit changes. They should sponsor you! #PwnCNC give this man a $$ check. great demonstration!

man you stuff is so good and helpful.. watch all your stuff

Great video, about to order shapoko 4xxl, these videos are what I want to learn, the little tips and tricks, thank you, Subscribed

awesome as usual.. Thanks for the continued tutorials.

Wow!!! Great video! Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you and well done!!!!

Thanks for sharing, I’ve been waiting for it to come out. I will be ordering one. I’ve been using the collars for about 6 months and I love it. Have not used my touch probe since I went with the collars and it seems to me to be more accurate. Thank you again for your tutorials.

I bought this. What a speedy accurate way to change bits

Good video, and gotta give some props to PwnCNC. I have a 3d printer so just ordered the collars and hardware, but they were exceptionally price completive compared to just ordering from McMaster or Amazon. So because I apricate them making the jig and putting the files up it was a easy choice just to order it from them.

really really perfect solution

Chris, great videos! Question, have you had any issue with the bit collar screw coming loose when carving? Shapeoko Pro XXL will be here next week.

How much of the shank do you typically have in the collet? I just picked up a shapeoko and it has the makita router with it. I feel like the shanks on all of the bits are short and If I try the collet method It would end up next to the cutting head for the collet to get a good grip. Thanks!

Newbie here. Ruined a sign this weekend by forgetting to zero the final profile bit! This seems handy to me.

This is great. Much cheaper than a the bit setter from Shapeoko. Gonna have to pick this up.

Hey Chris, thanks for your great videos. I have some questions for clarification. Does the face of your collet protrude farther down/past the face of your collet nut? It seems if I tried this on my Carbide 3D router setup, the stop collar on the tool would end up hitting the collet nut instead of the collet face which would cause the tool stick-out to have errors depending on how much I loosened the nut before reinstalling the new bit. Thanks in advance for your response!

I'm using this technique as well. It's the best and cheapest way. In fact, this is the fastest.

Where did you get your precision nut for the Dewalt router I’m having trouble finding them and shipping to Melbourne Australia can you get them in 6mm bit shaft size ?

COOL VIDEO ....

Chris this is a great idea thanks for the tip. Where did you get the collet nut & wrench for your router?

That's a very inventive jig, very much lateral thinking. However, it would only work if you push it high enough, and exact enough, into the spindle with each bit. How do you accomplish that? Do you just shove it in, and bottom it out? I use the paper method of setting z heights too, BTW.

One thing I've run into using the collars is the offset between where I put the bit in and when I tighten it down - there's a gap there that seems to affect the accuracy. Then when I go to remove the bit, the collet pushes the collar down. Am I doing this wrong?

Chris great video on the new bit setter from PWNCNC 2 questions I see some small clamps that are holding your board, did you make them or but them If so where. And the other is the HDZ worth the money and did you see a big difference in the quality of the cut between the to Jeff Peters

Sweet! That looks like a dewalt trim router that's been undressed. But it seems you swapped out the collet. What are you using there?

Hi. I just came across this video looking for something else. But I have to ask. These collars, will they not increase bit run out? I know your method is a bit quicker when doing multiple cutter changes but I'd be concerned with runout.

Dziękujemy.

So this is helpful for when you start a job with a end mill then need to go to a v-bit, then a round over bit then back to the end mill? Do you just need to set your Z on all the bits used for the job?

so how do you deal with the transition from a short Vbit to a long reach 1/8th or 1/4 in bit? wont you still have to reset z?

Great video! I have tried it out, but when it comes to the bit change the router stops and wont raise the router high enough to make the bit change. Do I need to change something in carbide create or in carbide motion?

Hey what collet are you using in that DeWalt router?

This is cool, gonna have to order some. Any kickback for you through the link to help you out?

Chris where you out of your accent sounds eastern NC-ish, love this setup.

I need find a place to order these collars from so I can get enough of them and put one on every damn bit I own. Bit changes are the bane of my CNC work.

What is the model of that router you're using? I like the method used for removing/inserting bits. That wrench used looks easy.

so what this does is prevents having to redo the paper methode each time between bits?

What purpose does the "top half" serve? Seems like it would work just as well without it.

Can you provide a link to the collet you are using?

Been trying to use this collar setter for a week. Cannot get the 2 bits the same for doing vcarve inlays. There is some slop in the setter. That may be the problem.

What is that dust boot? Do you have STL's for it?

I bought a set but I'm finding the collets to be tight even with loosened screw and degreasing. the bit doesn't go on with the ease. I tried Silicone Spray. Any suggestions ?

do these come with the collars?

THATS PRITTY SLICK IAM GOING TO ORDER ONE

How should this give you a repeatable insert depth, if you use a collet with a union nut? The ring is touching the nut, not the collet and both parts are not a reference to your table. Additionally the distance would change when the shaft diameter is a tiny bit off, because then the union nut would end in another height when clamping. This method can lead to an error of more than a millimeter.

I do not understand why you need to fit and remove the cover. Perfectly possible to secure both plate and collar without a cover.

Cigarette papers are very thin, I use them a lot. Try them !!

🤦I co z tego skoro pojawią się drgania podczas pracy i spadek w dokładności oraz z czasem szybka degeneracja łożysk wrzeciona.......😅 Mądrzejsi od was już to przerabiali dlatego pojawiły się uchwyty np iso20, sk, bt 30 itd...

Not balanced🤷‍♂️
