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

Very Nice, Premium feel heavy saves me time.. I am using on a cheap machine using Gsender.
Jason S. (verified owner) –
Initial settings were wrong and gauged the plate and broke a bit of the first attempt.
David C. (verified owner) –
Haven’t used yet, but this should be a great addition to the setup
Mark MacKenzie (verified owner) –
Workmanship and presentation are superb! One suggestion for consideration when using this unit with gSender is to allow a second Z height field where the second Z height measurement step can be filled in when there is a difference (even when small) in the two unit thicknesses. Mine shows a bit of a different thickness which results in a slight difference in Z heights. This is not an issue when doing normal work but is something I found I needed to be careful of when doing precision 2 sided machining of camera parts. 99.9% of people will not ever notice this I am sure. I use this unit exclusively.

Makes zeroing x, y and z axis a breeze. I only gave it 4 stars because I feel that it is overpriced.
Neville (verified owner) –
Works exactly as advertised.
Nicholas (verified owner) –
Great for initial setup. I did find that the position accuracy of V-bits is slightly different than a standard 0.25″ endmill. I just need to find XY position with one of the two and keep the XY home unchanged and then there are no issues.
Ed Nowicki (verified owner) –
Excellent.
Bryan (verified owner) –
Works great and is accurate.
Luis Rattia (verified owner) –
Useful
Daniel Jones (verified owner) –
Works well , maybe you can change the software so it reverts to Z zero after using it in XYZ mode if you are not familiar with it and you just want to zero Z it moves fast and damage your tool or hurt yourself.
David K. (verified owner) –
this makes setup so much faster, easier and accurate
Mike Mayo (verified owner) –
After setting XYZ, the bit attempted to move in the wrong direction and struck the touch plate. I haven’t yet figured out what’s causing the issue.

Works perfectly every time and very reliable

See above comments.

I have been using the AutoZero touch plate for about 4 months and like how easily it sets my x&y zero and my z axis. I use it with gSender and with the Super Long Board controller that I upgraded my Genmitsu CNC to.
Todd Lindstrom (verified owner) –
Love this!!
Finlay Wood (verified owner) –
Simple, effective, accurate
Peter C. (verified owner) –
I use 1/8″ bits for final cut out. The sides of the plate are so high that I have to extend the bit so the collet nut does not contact the plate and give a false Z reading. This makes the bit prone to breakage.
Bill Z. (verified owner) –
Still waiting for my spindle, so haven’t used it yet.
Andreas Litmanowitsch (verified owner) –
great tool
James Cavanaugh (verified owner) –
haven’t used it yet
Neil S. (verified owner) –
This makes makes zeroing the Z axis a breeze. I use it for everything.
David A. (verified owner) –
While I did need a touch plate for the Z axis, this is a little over kill for how I use my machine. I ordered it because I knew I needed something
