    Default Z-Plate X axis Zero Routine

    Does anyone have a routine that can be used to set the x axis with the Z zero plate? This would come in handy for certain tasks.

    I have seen some guys take a square of aluminum and make a "Super Z" I believe its called where you can set x,y,and z. I didn't like the design because its meant to set your material Z to the lower left corner and i set mine always in the center. Do a search for "super z" i think it was called.
