Their probes look gorgeous but technical information on their website is sparse. I'm interested in any information on their design and particularly, if it is patented, the patent number. I'm intrigued by probe designs and have built experimental units using strain gages, FSR (Force Sensitive Resistors) and... -----Original Message----- From: Feral Engineer <theferalengin...@gmail.com> Sent: March 14, 2021 3:22 PM To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) <emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Probe recommendations. Hey Ken, I believe so, but I'll find out from the manufacturer to be absolutely sure. I'm reference to your other comment about breaking probe stylii, have you checked out fleabay? They seem to have relatively decent priced units (40-50usd) if your probe is renishaw or compatible. Phil T.
