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.

  • Ken Amason is my predecessor. Even with his and John Kingston's help I was not able to get my star probe to calibrate all on one sphere. But with the help of James Mannes and the wonderful attached document I was able to get all tips to calibrate using both spheres. HTH


    That is one nice write up! Sure does explain a lot and just got me through what I needed Slight smile
