Getting a Star probe square to your machine

First, you need to have your star square to the machine.
What I do is place a 123 block on my plate.
I have a Rayco plate so it is easy to get that square.
When I put the star in I eyeball it square to the block.
Your dual calsphere needs to be pretty square to the machine also.
Next, I calibrate each tip individually, starting with #1.
It might take a few tries, but it'll work.
Here are a couple of pics of how I do it.

  • John I can do the same but my problem is when i go to tighten ithe star down it always ends up in the same place. Is there a way of adjusting it that I don't know of? I am a newbie at this


    I sent you a PM. Check it and reply .
    The star should rotate around the #1 tip when it isn't tightened. Maybe this is different than mine.
