I still remember going from an edge finder to a haimer and finally to a real probe. Nothing compares to the convenience of a probe so I’m hoping any probe issues get completely dialed before I fire my machine up
Seems like a good post to include this in instead of starting a new one, has anyone found a accurate way to touch off in Z on the small lip of the smw vise when flipping a part? The ruby of the touch probe is too large to hit it straight on
You can get a smaller probe tip, and change the diameter in cutcontrol.

From Langmuir or from somewhere else?
Somewhere else. Look for renishaw stylus in 2mm or 1mm. You just have to make sure you’re still probing with the ball, and not the shank, when probing in x & y because you’ll have less clearance.
