Was also thinking about a cable, however need to connect it each time otherwise tool changer will slowly turn it into a twisted cable. Expect they are more or less equally good as 3D taster but much cheaper. > It won't help me set up the tool height for a tool table.

Was thinking spring loaded, spring only because of tool crash into part, Nissin have very accurate wit LED but I have also seen with cable.
