This would be an awesome setup for Linuxcnc.

I got a "USB microscope" and built it into a tool holder and
hooked it up with camview to show
in a window of LinuxCNC. It worked, but I really wasn't
happy with the result. The camera did some kind of really
horrible interpolation, so the expanded image was not very
sharp. I couldn't tell which edge was the real edge of the
material if it had been deburred.
See http://pico-systems.com/centcam.html for some
pictures, etc.
So, I lucked into a deal on a Blum 3-axis touch probe. I
had to build an IR interface to it.
I wrote a bunch of programs to pick up corners of parts and
set the coordinate system.
It works much better, but, yes, the probe tip is fragile.
