SHARK CNC TOUCH PLATE PROMOTION

Standard touch plate PLUS the Mini and holder

Reach the Places a Standard Touch Plate Can't

The Shark Mini Touch Plate is designed for situations where a standard touch plate is simply too large. Its compact size allows you to accurately collect Z-height data in tight pockets, narrow channels, between clamps, or on intricate workpieces without repositioning your setup.

When paired with Virtual Zero Unlimited™, the Mini Touch Plate unlocks the full potential of your Shark CNC by allowing you to capture more surface data exactly where it's needed.

How Virtual Zero Unlimited™ Works

No spoilboard or workpiece is perfectly flat. Even small variations in material thickness or an uneven machine surface can cause cutting depths to change across your project.

Virtual Zero Unlimited™ solves this problem by:

• Measuring multiple points across your material using the Touch Plate or Mini Touch Plate.
• Creating a precise 3D height map of your workpiece.
• Automatically adjusting every line of G-code in real time to follow the actual surface of the material.

Instead of the cutter following the machine's surface, it follows the true surface of your project.

Why Use the Mini Touch Plate?

The Mini Touch Plate makes it easy to collect accurate data in areas where a standard touch plate won't fit, including:

• Small inlays
• Narrow carvings
• Pocketed projects
• Tight corners
• Between hold-down clamps
• Around fixtures and jigs

The ability to probe these difficult locations means your surface map is even more accurate, resulting in better carving performance across the entire project.

The Benefits You'll See

• Consistent cutting depth across uneven materials
• Cleaner carvings with crisp details
• Reduced sanding and cleanup
• Longer tool life by avoiding unnecessary deep cuts
• Less chance of cutting too shallow or too deep
• Better engraving, V-carving, and inlay accuracy
• Confidence on large, warped, live-edge, or irregular workpieces

One Small Tool. A Big Difference.

Whether you're engraving a sign, carving a live-edge slab, or machining an intricate inlay, the Shark Mini Touch Plate gives Virtual Zero Unlimited™ the ability to gather critical data where other touch plates can't reach—helping your Shark CNC deliver perfect cutting depth, every time.
