Just set up my 4XXL and I’m going through fits and starts. Initialize machine and then I put the Bitzero on the corner of my stock. Jog the endmill to be in the circle and activate probe. Touches off x, y, and then z on the top of the bitzero. I run the job and the end mill is quite a ways above the stock and cuts nothing but air. I ended up jogging the z axis and using a piece of paper and setting z zero manually and then things worked and cut the way I thought it should. Ideas? Thanks!
If you are worried your Z is not set correctly then in the Jog page there is a button “Rapid Positions” In that there is an option to move to X and Y Zero and another for Z zero plus 6MM. So if you want to check quickly that you are set properly use those two rapid positions to check your zero before starting a job.
You have a cnc machine so machine a 6MM block to slide under the bit to check the distance.
Usually being off by 1/8" of an inch w/ a BitZero is caused by positioning the machine so as to probe for just the Z-axis, but probing for all 3 corners.
