Thanks Andy. Having an earthed tool so no crock-clip needs attaching before probing is clearly a huge advantage (I did check, mine isn't). I can also see that the need to travers all the way to a fixed sensor and back is a waste of time that could out-weigh the need to position the probe. You make me reconsider the solution of leaving my touch plate permanently plugged in, change to a coil wire to reduce wire tangles and make a holder for the touch plate so it is safe on the machine when not in use and perhaps replace the tool crock-clip with a magnet so that connect/disconnect is easier. That is even easier and cheaper than wiring in a £6 switch!
