When cleaning your Tip, have you had your ball come off in your hand ?

Lee Johnson over 13 years ago

I recently had a ruby ball come off as I was cleaning the tip, should I try to reglue it and use it or just scrap it?

If they can be reglued what type of glue should I use?

I’ve had that happen a number of times with non-Renishaw styli. In 25+ yrs, never had it happen with Renishaw though.

Never tried re-gluing them either. If you try it, let us know how well it calibrates. A smidgen of glue gets on the ruby in the wrong place it could cause erroneous results if that area does’t touch the artifact during calibration.
