Is there a plan to ever have multiple project zeros? Say I have a jig set up off in a corner and I want to save the zero for future use. It's popular in industries and I could see where hobbiest and multi step jobs could benefit.

You can create multiple work offsets using the "Quick Actions" in Carbide Motion.

BitZero question. After setting my zero's, the bit goes and does it's thing on the BitSetter. Then returns to the zeroed position at the corner of my work piece. Except it's not exactly at the corner. So I tried doing it manually. Set my zero's. It did it's thing with the BitSetter. Then returned to the corner...and it's EXACTLY at the corner that I had set manually. How come, when using BitZero it doesn't return to the exact corner? Will my project be off because of that?

Brent. After the touch off on the BitSetter the machine returns the X,Y coordinates where the Z was set.
With BitZero the Z was set slightly inside of the XY Zero. Therefor, the machine will return to that position. If you rapid to “current XY” you’ll find that the XY Zero is directly on the corner of your stock. (As set by the BitZero)
