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 like it. I have had a couple of occasions where I set the Z then started to cut. It was too deep so I checked Z0 and it was below the material surface. Re-zeroed it an it was fine. Now I double check Z0 before start my cut.

So straight forward and easy to use great bit of kit.

Very nice

Beautifully made product. I’m changing to Gsender from Candle on a Genmitsu 6050plus. So far the new touch plate and jogging works as expected. Unfortunately I can’t get anything else to work, and I’ve been unable to find anything useful on the web. No one said this CNC adventure would be easy.

Wish the area for the Z 0 Was a little bit bigger for the larger bits.

Makes it very easy and straight forward to zero all axis

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.

Easy to use

Quicker and more repeatable than manual method

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.

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?

A nice addition, and a noticeable improvement over the standard pucks I’d been using previously. Not perfect, but worth the money.

Great product. Huge improvement to accuracy and time saver.

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.

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

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.
