I don't think that I can afford the probe so please don't misrepresent me as a potential customer. Of course his tool height setter is reasonably priced. I'm interested in the basic design and accuracy achieved including lobing errors. Plus, any technical details that he is willing to reveal!

Since we are discussing probes... I've recently broken several tips due to stupidity/inattention and replacements are expensive. Has anyone considered a safety breakaway based on a kinematic coupling with the pre-loading supplied by rare earth magnets? -Original Message- From: Gene

Here’s another idea; take several pictures of your part, each from a different point of view. Use OpenSFM to generate a rough 3D mesh of the part. As a second step, use the 3D mesh to identify your z-distance for final optical measurement. > On Mar 14, 2021, at 3:23 AM, Mark Johnsen wrote: >

Yes, I use standard 4mm screw probes. Perhaps us$50 is "reasonable" but I'm just a hobbyist/retiree and I find that breakage due to stupidity annoying. I'd rather spend a similar amount on a decent bottle of wine! Their probes look gorgeous but technical information on their website is sparse.
