Daily calibrations

At the beginning of each of my shifts, I calibrate my stylus to 0.001 mm. 80% of the time I only use it in position a0 b0. And when it shows 0.002 (or even 0.003) I start wiping everything in the world until it is 0.001. Sometimes it takes a long time. How do you solve this problem?

    I calibrate once a month (if then). Assuming it runs "OK" without any mishaps, I'll take it that long. I have a running list of all probes/tips used and calibrate all of them at once, takes about 2.5hrs to do them all.

    Many variables are involved and may or may not suit your setup. Just worth a try to, potentially, get you to invest time in a study to perhaps loosen up (or tighten) your procedure.
