I understand the that after using the auto zero touch plate, the bit moves to xy0 and 1mm above Z Zero.
Is there a way to adjust that 1mm to something larger? Say 19mm (3/4") or something similar?

I was wondering this as well. I always have to manually raise the Z to put the dust show on.
gSender does have a safe height feature but I’m not sure if it affects probing or not. If you decide to try the safe height in gSender be aware that it’s behavior depends on whether you have limit switches/sensors or not.
If you don’t have switches the safe height is a distance up from zero but if you do have switches the number is a distance down from the top of the Z. At least that’s how it used to work and I remember they added a section about it in the docs but I can’t seem to find it anymore.
I don’t use the safe height in gSender so I’m not sure if it’s behavior has changed or not. I’d be careful, keep the stop button handy, until you figure out it’s behavior. Another thing is it has no effect on your gcode like a safe height in Vectric, Fusion etc. It’s only used for some gSender functions when not running gcode.
The Safe Height only affects movement. That is, the spindle moves to the safe height when you use the Go to XY0, or go to the corners. It’s an AltMill, so it does have limit switches.
I have my safe height set to 1.5".
