Description
Other highlights include:
- Special nickel coating for higher surface conductivity to improve touch-off sensitivity
- Each set comes with a 5ft cable with a strong neodymium magnet and gold plated 5mm ECS5 jack for easy connection to two spots on the touch plate
- Guaranteed compatibility with our LongMill and AltMill CNCs, and likely compatible with other CNC routers with 2-wire, NO probe connections (like Shapeoko, 3018, etc.)
- Works seamlessly out-of-the-box with the gSender CNC control software
- Macros and documentation available for other senders too like CNCjs, LinuxCNC, Buildbotics, UGS, and more
- Currently set up for Front, Left corner probing only – support for other options coming to gSender soon

I watched set up video and used the instructions on Sienci.com.
The build went smooth.
First 2 sided 3D project total running time with 7 bit changes and no machine hiccups was 5 hours.
Everything is running well.

Works well. Easy to use. Convenient to have around.

Works well.

Works great. My only wish is that it was tougher metal – crashed a V bit into it and the $10 bit is fine but there’s a crater in my $90 touch plate. Would rather have broken the bit.

I’ve had a couple of issues when attempting to probe. GSender appears to move the machine to xy0 and z0 immediately after probing which has broken an endmill when the machine exited the probe in the wrong direction. I’ve also had a problem where the zero doesn’t seem to be set exactly where it should be.

Works well .. why not supply a 3d print holder with it. ?

Works well. a bit chunky though. you do need to hold it in place as it slides easily

First time using any touchplate and it’s amazing. Only request I have is to make the wiring longer. I had my starting point on right corner on a 30″ workpiece and it wouldn’t reach. Had to change starting point in Vcarve to left corner to accommodate.

I’ve only been working with my CNC machine for about a year. I purchased and have been using the AutoZero touch plate for a couple months now and have found it makes setting the bits much easier, especially when moving to different bits while carving a project. During my CNC journey, I have used the gSender program, upgraded to a gControl panel and find these to improve my CNC experience. A couple months ago my non Sienci Labs grbl controller failed. I decided to upgrade to the Super Long Board controlled. After rewiring my CNC, i have needed help with setting the new SLB controller to work with my CNC. I’ve been able to work with both Steph and Kelly at Sienci’s support group and want to commend them for helping me getting my CNC back up and running. I recommend Sienci Labs for all your CNC needs.

I just don’t use it.

Manual zero x, y, z works quicker for me

The autozero is a time saver and it works great.

Great little accessory for my Altmill. Works as advertised.

easy to use

The design and usability of the device is well done

This product is perfect. It allows for effortless zeroing of the x,y & z planes. The only thing I have not figured out how to do is to use it to zero a 1 inch surfacing bit. I would still recommend this for anyone. It makes life a lot easier
