A Z probe (touch plate) sets your tool length in seconds. Place the plate on the workpiece, clip the lead to the cutter, run the probe routine and the controller records the exact Z zero, no more eyeballing the tip against the surface or scrapping a job because Z was 0.3mm out. It is the single most useful upgrade for a new CNC router.
Z probe to suit X-Carve, XYZ-Carve, BlueCarve Blue, BlueCarve Turbo etc. Seamless installation via Easel by Inventables.

Adam's Tip
Enter the plate thickness (15mm) in your probe settings. Clip the lead to the cutter, and test the circuit by touching the plate to the bit before you run the probe.

Probe
This is a very useful addition to the shop, making it super easy as opposed to having to use the 'paper' method.
