Re: TLO not switching

Re: diameter readings when probing wrong

only thing I can seem to get me closer is reducing diameter of tip about .005" in the tool table. Tip is a ruby tip from tormach with there passive probe. Documentation plus measurement both put tip at .118". Im getting random probing errors also where it claims it cant find x or y plane.???

I cant seem to get a edge zero from my probe that matches my edge finder. When I use your software to find a center in a bore the diameter it reports i...
