Bit setter case question

Does anybody have comments on this bit setter case?

What an interesting concept! I would worry about tolerances in the cradle that might effect accuracy. A bit-setter that’s not spot-on accurate would not be particularly useful.

EDIT: I just took a deeper look at the way it’s designed. I guess it doesn’t matter how the cradle fits, since the mechanical end of this thing is a fixed button on the case itself…so as long as it is as sturdy as the regular bitsetter, this setup should work. They’re only using the bitzero to trigger a signal back to the control board. So I take back the concern above. It’s a pretty good idea.

I think @CNCInspiration might have made one of these once, but might be mistaken.

Is that the one from this thread?

Zeroing on Shapeoko

I have a touch probe and a bit setter. But I purchased a Bit Probe Setter Case off of Etsy. It holds the touch probe and has a bit setter built into it. Looks like a good idea. BUT… I can’t imagine how this, attached by an overhang to the front brace of the Shapeoko, will set my X and Y axis. Or the Z for that matter. It seems to me I would need to set the axis zeroes using the touch probe in the usual lower left corner position. I’m new to this ( you already figured that out) and feel a little…
