What's the Tiny Touch Plate Neodymium Magnet for?

@Olivier

I had ordered a 3-axes touch plate, and it arrived today.

I’m looking at the sample code you supplied.

One question I have is: shouldn’t the x and y axes sections have their own versions of the G92 command, that takes into account the thickness of the lip on the touch plate (amount by which it overhangs the material to grip it), and also takes into account the diameter of the bit?

For example, on Z axis, you have:

G92 Z14.0000
→ set your probe thickness, in my case 14mm, so Z0 is actually -14mm

And on this website’s instructions for the Tiny Touch Plate, it shows:

G92 Z0.5

So, wouldn’t the X and Y need a similar approach?
