Bit setter issues need help

Software

I’m running the bet setter with new version of CM. I set bit setter per instructions. Created a test cut using two cutters to see how it works. Makes first cut fine. But it’s not returning to center for bit change just stops when first cut is done. Any help

Can you post the g-code file and c2d file ?
Chances are, there is a single tool/toolpath in the gcode file.

Please use Carbide 3D Shapeoko for a post processor if you have a Carbide 3D Shapeoko.

Along with your post processor did you set the config to your machine type, z type and any accessories like the bit setter and then “Send Config” it is easy to set everything, move to the second tab and not send the config. Ask me how I know that.
