going to try a bowl bit for the first time. I’ve read in the forum to set set xyz with a 1/4 inch bit then set bowl bit z. when setting the z using the tool setter, do i flip it over then do z or keep it in the xyz position. thanks ---

Doesn’t matter as long as you touch off the thinner part when you turn it over. ---

Set the XY origin with an endmill. Swap in your bowl bit. Keep the touch plate in the same postion used to set the XY origin and probe for your Z height. Dan ---
