I recently performed the Z axis upgrade and since then I have issues with the touch plate.  
When I allow the unit to probe prior to doing a cut, all seems to go well.  
When I start my cut it seems to think that zero is .07" above the surface. Is there an area that I can set the thickness of my touch plate?  
Thanks,

Yes, there is.  
You would have to redo the machine setup, and on the page where you test the probe there is a grey “advanced settings” button at the bottom. Select that and you’ll have the ability to alter the thickness of the probe

Thanks Seth,

Its been so long since I set this machine up that I am not sure where the set-up instructions are at. Do you know if there is a link to that somewhere?

Make sure to select the “pre nov 2021” option
