AutoZero Touch Plate

The AutoZero Touch Plate is Siencis revolutionary CNC touch plate design that allows for automatic zero-setting with both straight and irregularly shaped bits (v-bits, ball nose, and tapered) in all X, Y, and Z directions for a fully streamlined probing experience:
- Skips the process of measuring or assuming the tool size before probing
- No more need to probe with a straight edged bit to find zero before starting a 3D contour or v-carve
- Corner cutout allows tool to go to zero to confirm successful probing
Unlike most conventional touch plates, the AutoZeros unique chamfered-edge geometry, symmetry, and tall walls means it can automatically measure and calculate the size and position of the bit you’re using very accurately. Plus, with our gSender control software users can run all functions through pre-built settings to have a seamless zeroing experience without having to mess around with custom macros.
- Special nickel coating allows 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 connections to two spots on the touch plate
- Guaranteed compatibility for the LongMill CNC 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

A unique accessory, overall works well, with one problem. After measuring the x, y and z axes, the machine jogs at vey high speed to the 0.0, 0.0, 0.8 xyz position at a very high speed. I involuntarily jump when this happens, and drop the touch plate. My fingers are right there, and it seems like the bit is headed for my flesh. A slower jog to the 0,0,0.8 position would be appreciated. The machine always jogs at that very fast rate.
Erik D. –
Easy to use
Kimsey Pollard –
Quicker and more repeatable than manual method
maikel barrosocruz –
For the price of the machine this should have been in luxes or offered. It was not very clear if this was part of the kit. I had to buy it separate, hence another waiting period.
Gordon Prior –
The plate itself is exactly what you say it is , love it.
But the AutoZero Touch Plate is not shown on the Remote mode app 🙁
Can something be done with that?
Patrick G. –
A nice addition, and a noticeable improvement over the standard pucks I’d been using previously. Not perfect, but worth the money.
Richard B. –
Great product. Huge improvement to accuracy and time saver.
KERRY CASSELLA –
This touch plate works very well. Very easy to use. Makes corner finding and Z height fast and accurate. This is the best designed touch plate I ever used. Thanks Sienci Labs.
David Wang –
It works. I love how it just works with gsender and does exactly what it says on the box. Sometimes the best products are the ones that live up to their promises.
Walter Hoggan –
Works perfectly and love the probe feature for tapered or ballnose bits
Doug Davidson (verified owner) –
Works great most of the time. Once and a while it tests and then drives the bit right down in the middle of the plate.
Troy Powell (verified owner) –
use all the time

Assembly of the Altmill was extremely easy, instructions were very well written as soon as I got the table portion done I checked for square and it was dead on square . I did have one problem though, the slb-ext had defective X axis but I got a replacement right away and off I went. At this point I should mention I have never even touched a CNC machine in my life. I have now made several catch trays and I am working on a new sighn for my business. Thank you Sienci Labs for manufacturing such great Machine

Works good

Works great

It works very well,I sometimes get the creeps when I have a1/16″ bit on it because it comes very close to the high part when just zeroing the z with the corner.I still use the regular one on occasion but need to remember to use different zeroing.

Mine came with a bit of a ding in it, and I’m not sure if that’ll affect the useability. As of the writing of this, there’s no open-source CAD file so I can create a protective cradle or something so this doesn’t fall and get more dings in it.
As far as useability, it really should come with a warning on it such as “warning: change following settings, and be mindful of (position, and which zero touchplate). Sure, that’s on the online instructions, but a warning note would be good – snapped a bit my first time because it didn’t have the correct parameters selected.
Once all was set up properly, this thing is impressive to be able to get 3 axis zero. Only wish it was designed such that one could get a large surfacing bit on it to zero, but otherwise it’s perfectly fine. Lovely bit of kit.
