I know that Ron has suggested this before, it works great, it is repeatable every time and doesn't cost anything. Using a plastic tube that the carving bit comes in, which have ends on it, cut it to length needed for the tool to stick out of the chuck. When changing tools simply use this tube to adjust the length and then tighten chuck. I call it a tool heigth tool. When I have a project that uses both the carving and the 1/8" tools the machine always asks for both tools to do its settings. I just start with the carving bit and fool the machine thinking I have changed tools, this is because I know that the 1/8" tool is going to be exactly the same length as my carving bit. Just keeps me from changing tools during setup. That is if the carving comes first, so be sure. Just my 2 cents worth.
