Alternatively, the end mill can be connected to the pin and the plate connected to GND as long as there becomes a complete circuit when the end mill touches the plate. You can use the autoset to setup that pin in Mach3 simply by touching the two together once connected to the pin and GND. Connect the plate (solder a wire to the plate) to one of the input pins. To home the z-axis using a plate: - Connect the end mill using a large clamping device like an alligator clip with a wire connected to GND.
