These are great! Carbide 3D has awesome support! I’m a customer support manager, so, I really appreciate good support and they are the best.
Suggestions to reduce customer frustration and your support people from spending time on basic things when they could be helping other people with more serious issues.... 1) Include a bottle of Vactra with every machine. Little bottle with the 4 for the Z axis, bigger bottle with the Pro, big ass bottle with the 5Pro 4x4 since there is a lot (like 16 feet?) of linear rail to maintain. Even my $100 dollar air compressor from Harbor Freight came with a bottle of compressor oil... 2) Include maintenance info with the assembly guide! I don't know if you have done it with the 5 Pro but so many people have no idea they should be keeping the linear rails clean and oiled on the Pro because it never said to.
Thanks for doing this
When I pause my machine during a cut and I want to stop the project it doesn’t retract.
Dont do rapid x+y then z+6mm if you're using bottom z instead of top, you'll crash into your stock when double checking it 😅
Question I have a file to cut dados in a cabinet side. I want to use a .5 dia mortising to speed up the cut But th bit is too big for the Bit Zero hole so can I use the .25dia pin you send with the probe to set MY XYZ once set can I so a tool change and install the .5 dia mortising bit an measure it and thenrunthe file will that work.

We can't see anything you were showing because you left the screen up with the words not your camera...... who is doing the editing????
Hello. where can we find the maintenance guide? What type of oil do you recommend for the bearings?
Maintenance is here: my.carbide3d.com/docs/maintenance/?fbclid=IwAR3kAUmG8n4k1S1rADTgoDev5YdMjj2k7FAC1Gv5tcY9BKvIwPgZh1RHwBs&mibextid=Zxz2cZ
Flemming nice to put a face with the person that has helped me with issues I have had in the past question So I am starting a new file When it the cycle do you set your xyz with the probe and after it does the probe do you need to zero all Jeff Peters Also Can I surface the whole spoil board?
Hey Jeff, You always have to set a zero for any project. When the machine is turned on, generally it maintains the zero from the previous project. If you're running the same project as you did the last time you had your machine on, it's a good idea to confirm that your zero is still correct.
Yes, on Shapeoko 5 you can surface the entire wasteboard.
Could you add a link to the maintenance guide in the description of this video?
Done.

Where is the Maintenance document located?

Um, ok. I just want to know why the machine goes to the bitsetter first as the bitsetter's numbers are dependent upon the bitzero's numbers. This seems like an unnecessary redundancy. What am I missing here? Thanks. Love the idea of these videos.
The Bitzero is for setting your X,Y,Z or just Z. Once set, the BitSetter maintains your Z zero across multiple tools in your project. Two different functions. The BitSetter is a 100% necessity and stock equipment on all Shapeoko 5 Pro machines. Given that you can manually set X,Y,Z, the BitZero is an optional accessory. Anyone trying to sell you a machine without BitSetter functionality is doing you a disservice.
@@carbide3d Yes, exactly. So again, my question is why the machine would cycle the bitsetter first? - (meaning when you first start up the machine and initialize it). You need the bitzero cycle first, THEN the bitsetter, but the machine does it the other way around and I don't understand the advantage to that. That just adds a machine event cycle for no reason, does it not?
@@madpedalboards Humm, really quite over there. You guys ok?
@madpedalboards387 Not correct. The bitsetter is for setting tool offset. Lets machine know where tip of tool is relative to machine Z zero. The bitzero is for defining your work coordinate system. They are completely different functions and they don't depend on each other like you say. The tool offset lets the machine know where the tool is. The work coordinate system tells the machine where the stock/work piece is. It does bitset first because to be safe, it alway needs to be sure that the stored tool offset is correct for the installed tool. On the other hand, you don't have to reset your work coord system if your stock hasn't changed. The machine remembers the last work coord.
@@Beerbatter1962 I fully understand, I don't think I could be more clear, that the bitzero and bitsetter have different functions. My question is about the sequence of use. But from your response, I can see that IF you are always using the same material (bitzero function), AND you trust that the machine remembers this correctly and thus do not re-set material zero, then you would ONLY need the bitsetter to do its job, so starting with it would make sense. So thank you for giving me at least one case where this makes sense. Due to previous experiences, I ALWAYS use the bitzero, so this case will never apply to my work flow, but at least now I can see some case in which the present sequence would be applicable.
FIX THE SCREE SO WE CAN SEE WHAT THE HELL YOU POINTING TO
