0.5mm or 0.7mm probe calibration settings

I am using a 0.7X20mm probe (long thin shaft). What are the best calibration settings for this probe? It keeps failing calibration for a few tip angles (.0004 deviation). I am using DCC+DCC 31 hits (5 levels) with a start angle of 10 and end angle of 90.

  • I'm on SP25M and SM25-2. Personally i use for my 0.3 and 0.5 sphere touch speed of 1mm/sec, prehit and retract 2mm. Try these config that works on my spheres 10mm and 20mm long. If not, maybe that sphere is not okay for that head, for example my Global Performance works well with a 0.5 sphere 20mm long, but the Optiv M can't use a sphere that long.
    At least you can try to modify the start angle to 2/3°, and maybe 2 or 3 levels with 16 points.
