Changing and Setting Z Axis Tools in Carbide Motion for Shapeoko Manually

Показать описание
Not sure if this is a hack workaround for Carbide Motion, or it's the way a real machinist would do it, but here's the solution we came up with to reset tools to the Z axis zero on a multi-tool job. Please feel free to comment with your ideas and suggestions.

The usual solutions are to split the job up into separate g-codes for each tool, or to use BitSetter ($120 from Carbide, or several off-brand options for half that).

(Editorial Comment Warning: How hard would it be for Carbide to allow you to manually reset the Z zero in the software in the run? I'm thinking not hard at all... but what do I know?)

What if you use the "probe" to set the length of the first bit, then when you swap bits it's already at the perfect height. Would that work?
