<title>Zeroing from material</title>
<description> I have attempted the macro installed to zero from the bed without success. Once I click resume because I have already completed Macro 3 it does noting. Any ideas?</description><link>https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2685,2685#msg-2685</link><lastBuildDate>Tue, 19 May 2026 20:55:11 -0400</lastBuildDate>

<title>Re: Zeroing from material</title><link>https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2685,2708#msg-2708</link><description><![CDATA[ To add respond to the post above--you can also change the offset of your Z Zero plate--in the &quot;preferences&quot; tab of the Fire-Up app. the setting there now should be something close to 0.75&quot; which we set when we tested your tool in the factory. That setting simply means that there is 0.75&quot; of space between the top of your Z Zero plate and the bottom of the handibot (the usual location for the top of the material).<br /><br />If you zero your bit using the z zero plate and then manually move the bit down until it touches the material...the amount that you&#039;ve &quot;gone negative&quot; in the z axis is the extra amount you need to add to your &quot;z zero plate thickness&quot; to get the right offset for what you&#039;re working on.<br /><br />Does that make sense?]]></description>

<title>Re: Zeroing from material</title><link>https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,2685,2696#msg-2696</link><description><![CDATA[ I highly recommend the &quot;Quick Bit Z-Zero Plate&quot; accessory that is somewhat new in the store. That is the exact purpose for this -- you set the plate on top of your material, press a button in Fabmo, the bit comes down, it detects the pressure and sets z-zero automatically. Has saved a lot of time.]]></description>

My issue is my material is in a jig or inside the base. I think the macro is 78 that. Says zero from material.]]></description>

To measure a new bit--you&#039;ll need to use macro 2 which adds in the z zero plate routine.]]></description>
