V2 bitsetter help

When I go to do the probe for the bitsetter, all it does is move about 1/2 inch to the left and stops. I have it set to probe all sides, X, Y and Z. Anyone?

Trying to finish a gift for Christmas and I’m under a time crunch :cry:

This sounds more like the BitZero v2 than the BitSetter… confusing names, I agree :slight_smile:

The V2 requires that you put the probe/endmill inside the BitZero’s ring/cylinder before probing. If it’s moving 1/2 an inch to the left, it probably isn’t inside the ring or the BitZero would have moved.

Edit to add picture from docs:

Make sure it looks like this before hitting the probe button.

This is why documentation is so important.

Write down what you do. In your own words and in as much detail as possible.

Then store it in a document you can find by giving it a meaningful name.

I have had to learn this lesson several times. It is time consuming initially especially in that euphoric moment of ‘it worked’ but it will save you time and frustration later.
