Shapeoko 3 XXL_Z axis

I’m having a couple issues with my Shapeoko 3 XXL. 1st is the Z axis. When in carbide motion and setting up before the cut i have zero’d out the XYZ access. After setting up for the Probe cycle i selected the bitzero V1(what i have). I then selected the Z axis. the function seemed to work and then i was prompted to remove the ground clip to continue. Once i pressed “ok” the spindle retracked then slewed over to the NE position then plunges the bit until it bottoms out. how do i stop it from doing that? it does the same when i select “load new tool”. also, I have the water-cooled vfd spindle kit.

In the current version if a BitSetter is enabled it will go to measure the tool at the BitSetter after setting the Z-axis.

Do you have a BitSetter? If not, disable it.

If so, configure it per:
