Tool Presetter

Make Swiss tool setting quick and easy with an innovative, proactive process outside of the machine. Using our speciality Perfect Zero SwissSetter camera and assembly board, you place stops on your tool shanks. No more touching-off in the machine, and no more chipping tools before they've made a single cut.

Set Swiss CNC tooling outside of the machine without touching-off on the part or stock

Tired of chipping tools when you touch off?


With our SwissSetter camera, portable assembly board, and companion software, you quickly place small collars at a precise location on the tool shanks. These tools can then be placed directly against a collet and tightened down.


Setup and tool changes don't have to be so tedious. Remove a source of downtime, cost, and variability from your operations.


Let SwissSetter help you meet your goals.
