Hi all, Short version: Can you replace the magnet from the XYZ touch probe with a wire run through the drag chains and connected to the spindle casing? Long version: I’m horrible at remembering to connect the magnet when using the XYZ touch probe. Luckily, I do XY first, so all it does is shove …

Depending on your router/spindle, you might be able to wire it to the frame, and never have to think about it. Another option is a 3-wire 3D probe. If mine cable isn’t connected, the machine will tell me “Probe Error”, and won’t even move.

Hard wiring the XYZ Touch Probe cable?

Hey Stefan,

Why with a spindle, you don’t need the touch plate’s magnet end anymore
