I have used conventional edge finders on various milling machines and CNC mills. I would like to be able to use one on my AltMill. But edge finders are limited to around 1000 rpm, which is too slow for a router. I don’t want to be limited to conductive workpieces. There are XYZ probes but they are too large. I own the Auto-zero touch plate but it is too large. Is there a compact, non-rotating type of edge finder that you use on your CNC router? If so, please describe it and its source. Thank you
I can’t find my original Amazon order but I use something like this probe:
Like Jens I have the same probe. If you plan on getting the ATC and using it in conjunction without needing to constantly change gsender settings for NO/NC. Make sure to get the version that is NC as the TLS is NC by default, and this will go in parallel to the same connection point on the SLB-EXT.
Also as a note, if the TLS and touchprobe are left connected at the same time in parallel gsender wont detect a signal until both are triggered.
