So I have been using a ruby tip for all my parts. We machine Inconel aluminum and stainless. I scan my parts. I am noticing I am getting huge wear very quickly. Should I be using a silicon nitride ball instead?
On the topic of probe wear and tip suggestions...I measure parts mainly made from titanium and cobalt chrome. The surfaces vary from mirror polished (under 4 RA) to sandblasted and machined. if anyone can recommend a tip besides standard ruby, I'd be down to try it. I've replaced a few tips already that have worn a feelable step onto the ruby tips.
