Having the ability to perfectly reach a desired depth to set your zero consistently every single time cannot be underestimated. This z-probe gets straight to the point with no bells or whistles, though to make the best of it you will need to purchase (or borrow) a set of very accurate calipers. I know these are mass produced, but if they came with precise size dimensions in the packaging that would be awesome. Worth every single penny regardless. ## Features - With a mouse click, CNC machines will automatically return to a predefined position, allowing you to easily change and calibrate your tools. - Z-Axis tool setting touch probe works with Mach3 and GRBL(Candle). - Makes setting tool height a breeze, no more using the paper. - Auto-Check setting probe. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07Z5X9YHJ | | Best Sellers Rank | 18,384 in Business, Industry & Science ( See Top 100 in Business, Industry & Science ) 23 in Test Probes | | Brand | SainSmart | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,100 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00816550022757 | | Item Dimensions | 30 x 30 x 14 millimetres | | Item Weight | 0.03 Kilograms | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 30 x 30 x 14 millimetres | | Item weight | 0.03 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | SainSmart | | Manufacturer Part Number | 101-60-386 | | Material | Aluminum Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) | | Model Number | 0816550022757 | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Specific Uses For Product | CNC router tool setting | | Specific uses for product | CNC router tool setting | | Style | For 3018-PRO, 3018-PROVer, 3018-PROVer Mach3 | | Style Name | For 3018-PRO, 3018-PROVer, 3018-PROVer Mach3 | | UPC | 816550022757 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SainSmart - **Item weight:** 0.03 Kilograms - **Material:** Aluminum Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) - **Power source:** Corded Electric - **Product dimensions:** 30W x 14H millimetres ## Images ![CNC Router Z-Axis Tool Setting Touch Probe, Compatible with Grbl/Mach 3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616r2xk+U+L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How much variation is there across the surface of the probe?** A: The metal part is fine with no significant variation (although it is grooved so I guess a very sharp v bit might have tiny variation) its the plastic holder that needed work on mine. I ended up taking the metal out and tapping a small screw on the side. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by W***U on 5 November 2025* Good ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ same size every time *by S***S on 29 March 2023* while 3018 cnc machines are not exactly what you might call state of the art, they do function really well as an introduction to all things CAD and CNC.

Worth every single penny regardless. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Not a Dupont connector *by E***E on 21 March 2022* The connector on this probe is one for a dedicated 2 pin connector, and doesn't fit the 0.1" headers on my control board. For all I know, it's right for a Sainsmart control board, but the product photos seem to go out of their way to not show the connector. ## Frequently Bought Together - SainSmart CNC Router Z-Axis Tool Setting Touch Probe, Compatible with Grbl/Mach 3 - Genmitsu 40pcs End Mills CNC Router Bits, 1/8" Shank CNC Cutter Milling Carving Bit Set Including 2-Flute Flat Nose & Ball Nose, Nano Blue Coat & Titanium Coat, MC40A - Genmitsu 6PCS Micro Limit Switches with 1M 3 Pin Cable for 3018-PROVer/3018-MX3/3018-PROVer Mach3 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/222215980-cnc-router-z-axis-tool-setting-touch-probe-compatible-grbl](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/222215980-cnc-router-z-axis-tool-setting-touch-probe-compatible-grbl) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
