I’m sure I could just go try this but thought I would ask here. I’m watching the below video and Kevin is spending a lot of time teaching how to be square to the machine. If you are using bit-zero, do you still need to be square to the machine? Since the bit zero is measuring 4 pts on a circle, isn’t it able to tell if my piece is askew of the table’s square and adjust accordingly?
Again, I could easily test this by putting a piece on the table and purposely skewing it to say 30 degrees, then running bit-zero and see if carbide motion compensates or not?
I’m still new so may be missing the point so my apologies if I’m being obtuse.
How old is the video? For BitZero V2, I think you are right and the orientation doesn’t matter. V1 though was built as an edge detector, orientation would matter.
BitZero will find the corner of the stock no matter how it is rotated, but cutting out a part in it will depend on how the design fits into the stock as secured.
Since it finds the center of a circle, it is invariant of rotation. You would only be able to detect an angular displacement if you also probed a second corner.
Precision has to start somewhere, and it’s easier to apply it as early as possible, and to be consistent with it insofar as is possible
