my small tip =(

hello all
my small tip (0.5mm) always measures stuff bigger than it really is. (about .006-0.1mm) even tho i just calibrated it.
it calibration results it get good std, but the the diameter always measures to 0.480 mm.
anyone has any tips & tricks for my small tip? Disappointed

  • I would not worry about the size reading 0.480 it is normal for the ball to read smaller as an example our 0.7 styli read around 0.638 but give very repeatable accurate results.

    If you are getting up to 0.1 errors, I would advise checking the probe is not shanking out. The 0.5 ball does not have much room for error in the physical alignment of the part.
