You guys should do an updated bitsetter video for a “step-by-step” using the new change tool button etc.

This is one of the coolest additions to the Shapeoko. Nice work C3D team!

I have been using the BitSetter for about a week and love it. Making tool changes is now just a few seconds rather than several minutes of frustration.

This is a great option that I will absolutely be getting when I buy a Shapeoko XXL. The video got even better when I saw the ILTMS hoodie, love that you support makers.

I got mine the other day and used it for the first time today on my XL. It's a game changer. The integration with Carbide Motion 5 is seamless too. Great work you guys!

This is exactly what I was waiting for. Brilliant ! Thank you so much!

I just received mine. Easy to install and easy to use. Thank you for this time-saving option.

Great video. Loved how easy this was to install. Directions were awesome as well.

I guess I’ll be placing an order. This is 🔥🔥🔥

Ordered! You guys rock!

Looking forward to getting this hooked up and using!! 👊

Great addition to the portfolio!

I just got mine today. It arrived about 4 days after the order. It feels solid and heavy-duty. Chamfered edges on this thing are fire. It even comes with a nonmarring plate and if you have the touch-probe it comes with a splitter hookup so you can use both.

After trying three touch probes, all with the same lackluster results, I'm excited (and a little apprehensive) to give this a try.

this is awesome and has sold the deal for me to get another CNC and from carbide 3D :)

Yeah, this seems brilliant!

nice addition!

you guys should just make a version the doubles as a touch probe

That is so cool!! I'll be getting one!!

That's a great option! If during the bit change I bump the x/y a little will it detect and adjust that too?

i want one so bad best add on to the machine so far

Excellent.

That's awesome, funny thing is I was just starting to design something exactly like this for an ATC project I am working on for my Shapeoko

I got a Bitsetter with my kit when I bought it and installed it, no problem. Issue I am having is that everytime the bit touches the magnetic disc, the magnet attaches to the bit and gets carried off. the bigger issue is when it takes the disc off, it is always slightly off center and when it goes back down, the disc cants on the edge of the socket and the reading is off. Should I glue the magnetic disk to the Bitsetter? Right now, this issue makes the tool effectively useless.

I wonder if this would work with a Duet2 logicboard. looks like a really usefull product

question how bit of a dia bit can be used on the bit setter. I have a .75 dia 2 flute straight plunge bit I want to use to clear a pocket then change to a .25 dia bit to finish the pocket

It would be super awesome if this worked with the X-Carve as well :) I know, I know, it's just software, but perhaps open sourcing the machine commands so it could be ported would be nice (unless of course you open source carbide create instead...)

Awesome! Can you force it to probe in the middle of a program if you were to lose steps in z-height?

My cnc will not jog using arrows using Carbide Motion. I can use rapid jog to move it, but the arrow keys not work at all on this program. Thoughts?

I am so excited for this... Am I understanding it correctly, that if I let Fusion360/Carbide Create export tool paths with multiple tools in it, the M16 will automatically get added to the GCode? (and then subsequently the bit-setter will happen automatically by Motion?)

Really wish this was still available for the Shapeoko 3 😬

does it work for V bits?

How do you use BitSetter in conjunction with BitZero?

What kind of wood is that in the last scene that the clamp holder is made from?

Does the signal splitter come with the bit setter? If not where would I get it - did not see it in your store. Thx!

If i'm using this in addition to a touch probe do i need to do the XYZ probe or just set the probe on top of the work piece and do the X and Y separately? I'm a little confused as to whether the Z i set with the probe overrides the bit setter.

How does this work with a dust boot attached to the machine? Is there enough clearance to use with a boot?

is the Probe Adapter PCB included or sold separately?

Does this work with universal g code platform?

If you are using a 2.2kw spindle wired through the control board will Carbide Motion turn off the spindle and bring it to the center for a tool change and depth probe????

Does It Matter what soft ware you use to design in I use VCarve pro Jeff

I have everything set correctly as directions say to do but after hitting resume and it goes to touch the bit setter it does not stop plunging what would be wrong?

Does this work with a V bit?

YYYYAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS

Vectric Software will not let you save different tools into the same gcode is my understanding - please correct me if I'm wrong. This is a great idea!

Does this work with a dust boot

Has anyone run into a problem where the bit setter is measuring too low? For example, I used the touch probe to set the z height which comes out at 31mm, then I started my program, installed the correct tool, it measures the tool length but when I went to verify the height of the tool it is 5mm lower than what Carbide Motion is showing me. It has happened multiple times where I plunge that extra 5mm and start cutting. Any help would be appreciated.

In the video I did not see you using anything other than an EM changing' will it do v bits form tool bits straight 2 flute router bits.

Does the split come when you purchase the bitsetter?

What Shapeoko size is that?

what is the difference between this and the touch probe? can they do the same things? what do they do different?

Hey Winston, thanks for the video on this and in using the bitsetter and the probe, where is one to place the coupling board that comes with it? There does not seem to be enough room in the control box without having it touching something else, perhaps causing a short in the circuitry. That would be a bad thing so is this small circut board to be affixed to the outside of the control box somewhere? Perhaps drill a couple of holes in the Y1 rail and screw it to the rail? Thanks again, David J.

Will this work with CNCjs too

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! Sorry, that was rude... buying this ASAP.

Me: I don't really change my tools THAT often.. Also me: Purchase complete! Glad I got one before they are sold out! :)

So does it raise the spindle up high enough automatically? I was putting a small 5 second tool path outside my cutting area between tool swaps but I always had to change retract heights on my projects or it wouldn’t raise up high enough to get longer bits on/out.

You sound just like Winston Moy.

It is possible to run the cnc without the bit setter?

What model cnc is this?

And......you got my $$$.

1:17 is a tongue twister for those who learned English as second language.

I'm at my Shapeoko now working with a 1/4"->1/8"->1/16" set of toolpaths to rough and refine the detail on a sign project. And now you tell me I could've had it all in one go? Bah!
