Carbide3D Carbide 3D Shapeoko 3 / 4 / Pro / HDM BitZero V2
The Shapeoko CNC Router is an incredible machine that expands your creative opportunities to include subtractive manufacturing of materials like wood, foam, plastic, and even soft metals. These are precision machines and as such need accurate calibration - enter the BitZero touch probe. With this add-on your Shapeoko can automatically detect bit length for precision operation.
The V2 has been expanded and improved in every way, from the redesigned profile, allowing for larger projects and tool diameters, to the clip-less magnetic ground connection, and even an insulated base to allow conductive materials to be probed. BitZero makes your CNC work easier and more efficient in every way.
Please note this version of the BitZero V2 is not compatible with the Shapeoko 5.

Enhance Your Shapeoko Experience with Automatic Calibration
The Shapeoko BitZero V2 touch probe enables workpiece calibration in all three axes for a smooth, easy start to your CNC project. The touch probe rests perfectly on the corner of your stock thanks to a cutout on the bottom for proper alignment. Your Shapeoko will then touch the installed carving bit on the top of the touch probe to not only establish correct tool length but also to measure the height of your stock. Next the Shapeoko will touch the carving bit to the sides of the probe to establish the correct X and Y location of your stock material. Once the BitZero calibration completes, you are ready to begin your project!
What's in the Box?
If you already have a Shapeoko, or are ordering one now, this item is all you need to include automatic calibration.
- BitZero with attached cable
- Adapter to connect probe to controller board
- 1/4" tool flute reference pin
The probe attaches to the controller board of your Shapeoko and the grounding connection attaches automatically to the the controller enclosure - easy to install when you have the enclosure open to connect the probe cables!
Please note that BitZero V2 requires Carbide Motion 5.14 or higher.
Hardware Compatibility: Shapeoko 3, Shapeoko 4, Shapeoko Pro
Questions
Can this be used rather than a bit setter for doing advanced V-carve operations such as a V-carve inlay?
Is the speed on the Carbide Router selected thru the Software or Manually like the Makita Router ?
Can the Puck from other manufacturers be used or is this the only one that can be used?
I am on the fence about an X-Carve or the Shapeoko. This sensor is key to that decision. It looks like it has been out of stock since October 2018. Please advise if this will ever become available again.
I saw in an earlier question that you do take orders and fill them as the product comes in. Will doing this guarantee me getting the product sooner, rather than waiting to hear whether they are available first and then ordering?
Do we have an estimate on stock? I just purchased an XXL from you guys and wanted the probe as well.
Ive watched the in stock estimations go from January 2019, Feb 19, and now march 19. What is Carbide3D doing with these? or are they just selling out that fast?
If I order the xxl shapeoko, can I order the touch probe even if out of stock and it be delivered when it comes in ?
What exactly does this do? I’m not sure how this works, I have never used one of these machines but would think it would make work easier.
the last est was today 10/26 did any come in and sell out or did you not get any in? thanks.
Hi I bought the XXL, the probe is Currently Unavailable, How can I know when I can buy it, Can I pre-order it? I purchased at MatterHackers
