Tool Change Problem

When running Carbide Motion ( in two different program versions ) the same thing happens. After probing the start location, the machine should go to the bit setter to fine its 0 to the top of the project. Instead it starts the spindle and the Z axes drops down to start cutting. The machine should return to locate its 0 to the bit then wait for a tool change. I can’t figure out if I’m forgetting something or not. I’ve had my Shapeoko 5 pro for over a year now. Any ideas.

Thanks ahead for any suggestions.

Verify that you have the bitsetter enabled. This is done after connecting and before initializing the machine in settings.

This has changed in recent versions, see:

Thanks for the info this helps
