A cylindrical probe which will take more accurate hits on thread holes.

That's the email I got upon entering the shop today. I was using a 1 x 10 styli for a part with 3-48 & 6-32 threaded holes. Just trying to get a decent location within tolerance of +/- .005. Now, the customer (we are the sub-contractor) is "coming in today with a cylindrical probe which will take more accurate hits on thread holes". I checked some of the postings in the forum and it looks like there's a lot involved and the results are sketchy.

    This isn't one specific person by the way, many many people in many different industries.
