Another BT30 spindle orientation application would be for probe orientation. I know a couple of guys working on a probe macro for their new BT30 spindle to orient the probe so that the tip approaches each surface the same direction. Idea is to eliminate any variation in probe trigger distance due to the three contacts inside the probe theoretically triggering at different angles.

One would need a wireless probe, or a wired probe which has been converted to wireless, of course and idealy be tolerant of... impacts. Hint, hint Cliff.
