the drill bits allow me to overide the depth of the cut to go past what the tool lenght sensor detects. it would be nice if there was an option for every bit to do this.
I use tongue and grove option and use the depth of the cut as adjustment for the fit to be tighter or looser, being able to adjust the depth of the cut on that particular bit would allow me to adjust the fit on the bit itself.

Re: bit specific height adjustment
You could adjust the daylight for that tool. This will allow you to adjust it while running a program. Keep in mind it will affect every operation that tool is used for.
We use a 3/8 DS for tenon and dado operation so changing the daylight would affect the depth clearance as well but we are talking small numbers here.

Re: bit specific height adjustment
Hi Micheal,
If I am understanding correctly you want the control the how tight your joints fit for your dado's.
While in cabinet editor if you go to construction settings, about halfway down on the left side is dado settings. There are three boxes, Depth, Depth Clearance, Fit Clearance.
Adjusting the fit clearance will make you daods tighter or looser depending on the value you enter. We run approx .015 to .020 most of the time.
You will have to do some test cuts to see what works best.
Hope this helps.
