The Carbide3D BitSetter is an automatic tool offset probe for your Shapeoko that makes it easy to run jobs using multiple tools without the need to stop and re-zero manually. BitSetter measures the length of the cutter in your spindle and, combined with Carbide Motion, automatically resets your Z-axis zero point to reflect the new length, making tool changes simple and straightforward. Shapeoko 3 BitSetter (square version) works on all Shapeoko 3 Standard, XL, XXL machines running Carbide Motion 428 or later. The Shapeoko 3 BitSetter includes an adapter board to allow you to connect both the BitSetter and the BitZero. Shapeoko 4 BitSetter (rectangular version) works on all Shapeoko 4 Standard, XL, XXL machines running Carbide Motion 428 or later. The Shapeoko Pro comes with a BitSetter already installed, no additional BitSetter needs to be purchased.

BitSetter comes with wiring adapters to fit any version of Carbide 3D Shapeoko electronics. It requires Carbide Motion 428 or later. BitSetter will not work on the red Sparkfun Shapeoko machines.
