You can use not only the detection pin but also the tool bur
to set the Z origin with the Z0 sensor. However, using a thin
tool bur may lead to it being damaged. Also note that you
cannot use the Z0 sensor with tool burs made of a coated
non-conductive material. This section explains how to perform
detections using a detection pin.
