When it comes to probes I think in terms of prototyping something that is cheap

in brass 60 degree cones. Connect the brass cones in series. Epoxy to plate
isolated by a nylon washer. Probe drives the three shafts. Repeatable to about
0.0001” in all three axes.. Don’t think anyone else thought it was a good idea
or maybe they just had more $$. Think I still have it sitting on the shelf.
Of course YMMV. Once you get the probing software solid then get brave and put
whatever you want on as a probe.

Hi Chris,
First place for me to spend money is retrofitting ball screws to replace the
ACME screws after I get the power draw bar working the way I want. Then I'll
invest in a monitor with touch screen and take a look at other user interfaces.
For now other than wanting SAMBA on the 2.8.1 I have no real reason to update
the PC/OS. It works fine the way it is.
Not in 2.8.1 Dave. 2.9.0 and later have some touch-off fixes.The gui
gained some linkage that if using jog dials, (who doesn't?) transfers
the dialed motion to the active axis buttons. Pre 2.9.0 doesn't do that
so when touching off, you had to make sure that itty bitty tally button
was on the axis you just moved, now its automatic, touch-off corrections
are now applied to the last axis you moved. Saving thousands of mistakes.
The operator is another thing entirely. Which is why I have extra probe tips
and the broken shards of the first probe.

If you are adventurous qtvcp has a probe screen based on vers probe. Should
be able to embed it into AXIS
