Sharing my touch plate mod

[Joseph_Crowe_DIY]

This has probably been done before but this is a simple mod that I did to the touch plate magnet. The wire kept breaking at the lug joint so this prevents this from happening by adding the wood handle so that no force it put on the wire when removing the magnet from the cutter.

Neat idea, though I just permanently attached the wire to a metal component and just zero it the usual way.

Neat Idea. But a little rough on implementing. I'm going to model a 3d printed solution with a nice thumb tab to do similar, if you don't mind.

(PS. I've already repaired my broken wire once, getting close again now).

I just grounded my metal frame to my cnc controls, no wire needed to connect to the spindle.
