Let's make retractable touch plates for the CNC router!
I made 2 types, a Z Probe and an X-Y Probe
This has been on my to do list for a long time
Using the surface grinder is probably overkill for the accuracy of the router. At a guess the router is maybe accurate to 0.05 mm on a good day.
The #1 Touch Plate is SOLD! I will have other items on ebay here now and then: https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/tommygunmachining/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=
If people are interested I might make more of these touch plates
Special thanks to Adventures With A Very Small Lathe for helping out with the sticker sequence youtube.com/channel/UCgye4RmWOR8AmleinMxgbYw
