for wiring, with the probe tip facing down, and the connector facing you, the upper left and bottom right pins are an NC switch. the remaining two pins are for the led.

neither thread has any info about velocity, acceleration and general rapid transit speeds. I already have a sherline working with a xylotex setup. I am curious as to how fast others have gotten...

Has anyone tried to make a probe utilizing a piezo element instead of mechanical switches?

I am playing with the idea of 3d scanning and am primarily a diy cnc'er as more here seem to be. the question is, as most of use are using mach 2, which moves on a grid and then drops the z azis,...

with an A axis rotating in increments this would not have to be the case.
there would be some limits with undercuts, but it should be able to do a form in full round.

Has anyone tried building a machine with a horizontally mounted router on an xy movement cutting into a rotating third axis? in one of whiterivers pics it looks like this might be the case. Has...

I've come across a mitutoyo mtp1 signal probe and I was trying to figure out if I can use it as a digitizing head. it is designed for a mitutoyo mx coordinate measuring machine. does anyone have...
