About the Tool Setter Plate

Our tool setter plate is a generic tool setter that we offer for our Accu-Pro mill and our Acorn Controller. The tool setter has the proper cable connections to connect to the MASSO Touch control and the Acorn control. These are bullet connectors. One is male, and the other is female (so they cannot be incorrectly connected).

The tool accessory cables for a Tool Setter Plate or a Touch Probe (touch probe NOT sold by Sherline) have already been wired to the G3 board and the correct resistor. This removes the need for you to do any internal wiring to the G3 board. All you need to do is connect the desired accessory to the preinstalled dedicated cables on the Touch control. Only one accessory can be connected to the Touch control at any given time.

About the Sherline/MASSO Touch Connectors for Tool Setter Plates and Touch Probes

We use single and double Molex connectors because these are standard in the industry. When you receive your G3 Touch control, we have already supplied the cables with the Molex connectors. You just plug your accessory wires into the corresponding existing cables.

If you have not purchased your tool setter from us or purchased a third-party touch probe, you will need to buy connectors to fasten them to the supplied cables on the G3 Touch control unit. We recommend the Molex connectors from Mouser.
