We purchased a brand new Haas VF4 that was installed in January of 2011. In addition to buying it for additional capacity, we were excited about using the machine's Renishaw probe to inspect our complex parts in machine. For 4 months, we struggled and finally hit a wall when we needed to probe a part with tenth tolerances throughout. I turned to this forum and after a week or so of researching was able to find a member who frequently contributed to questions regarding Renishaw probes and Haas machines. I contacted this member and in a matter of days, he and his partner generated calibration and inspection routines. We are extremely satisfied with the level of support they gave us on very short notice and are now on the path to cutting chips and making money!
I'm posting this in hope of helping someone else avoid the wasted time and money associated with trying to write routines to probe complex parts. The member who helped me was GUYPB and here is his info:

NOTE: Other than the support they gave us on the Renishaw probe on the Haas, I have no business or financial dealings with Guy or his business partner, Brent. I met him a couple of weeks ago through this forum, but will be using them again to get us proficient in intermediate/advanced probing.
