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.

I stumbled upon this thread sometime back when looking for information about this subject. I don't have a Rayco plate (The boss vetoed getting one when she saw the price), and I have no idea what a 123 block is. Anyway, I got to thinking about how I could do something similar with the setup I have.

". . . And he stopped me right there and he said "Kid! Go sit on that bench over there. Now kid! The Group W bench is where they put you if. . . "

You should have a set of these somewhere in your shop. HTH
