CNC Tool Setter | Up Your Game

If you own a CNC then you should watch this video to learn more about how a Tool Setter (or a Z-axis probe) can improve the way you work. In this video I walk through what a tool setter is, how it works, how its installed, and how it can improve your CNC workflow.

Super comprehensive explanation of this new accessory, and MUCH better presented than even 1F’s own video…haven’t received mine yet but this will be my setup reference video when it lands. Bravo 👏 and thank you!!

[rwolfpak]

Thanks for the “high to low” tip, got me up and running.

[binauralapplied]

This has been the best explanation of tool setting I’ve found 🔥 Thankyou 🙏🏻

[DudeSawdust]

Congrats on 20K! 100K is right around the corner, keep it up my friend.

1:46 you mention “…your CNC needs to know what your touch-probe’s height is…”, and I totally agree because you can locate it where you want. However, I did not see how you set this height in the CNC controller… nor do I see that in similar videos? What about the material height as well?Am I missing something?Thanks for creating this video; always appreciated.

Great information. I I ordered one the day they were released and still waiting. It’s been like 9 weeks. Love your channel. Keep it up

[Pursuit]

Great explanation! 👍🏼 Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the video. Side question: What type of backside mounted 4" dustboot are you using?

[MiterTrimCarpentry]

Extremely helpful. Thank you. May I ask, did you design your spoil board with MFT style 20mm dog holes for better clamping options? Again thank you in advance

[KromayAsk]

One thing that I didn't get in this video, is how to actually use it if you have 4 toolpaths for 4 tools. CarveCo doesn't allow to merge them into one file as far as I know. Tool setter will work right after homing for me, and then after that I have no idea how to trigger it again when I am actually changing toolpaths and bits

Is the tool setter holder file available? No point in trying to recreate it after you made a nice one. Just starting the assembly of my Onefinity. So very helpful. Will be adding a ATC when available.
Thanks

Should I disable the tool setter when using: a Drag knife, plotter pen, vinyl cutter or Diamond Drags?

[michaelrobinson]

How do you stay "finger safe" when conducting a change with the tool setter? Is the machine live and potentially able to kick off while your fingers are in the bit area?

I am somewhat confused but not really. 21, 600 subscribers and only 14 thumbs up. Not a single comment from any of the thumbs up.
It impressed me. I have one of those machines still in its box far pass its warranty. His shop is what was once in my dreams. I think, I might think about unboxing mine. Thanks
The thumbs up think has me a bit confused? I once believed I read, that in ancient Rome if you got the thumbs up you were dead.

[Martin-ujzn]

is your dust boot custom-made by you? Do you have a video on it? Looks really sweet.

[tfsbuilds]

Do you have the cut file for the EaZy tool setter inlay?

Can’t seem to program that cut

[jeremycrites]

What would cause my z height to be off .2 of inch. I've set mine up the same way as you described. I use probe to set xyz at first then after it changes bit it cuts about .2 inches deeper than first cut? I don't change bit until I'm prompted to do so.

[ApluswoodcraftsInc]

Hi, are you using vectric and what post processor are you using to do tool change....its not popping up on mines...thanks\

[TheHelicapt]

Nice. Thanks. What dust boot are u using ?

[scratcher_samurai]

How do you get the machine to come to the front for bit changes when prompted? Or did you just jog it to that position?
