What type of probe system are you using?
Do you have the machine set for 'display absolute speeds'? (safest practice as it gives you more control/understanding for the speed)
Have you tested your probe accuracy by measuring something known, like a ring or disc gage? <If you start slow(touchspeed=1 or 2 with scanning heads, 3 or 4 with TTP) and increment your speed up you can find the point that the data is no longer repeatable/accurate.
Keep in mind that the smaller your prehit/retract distance is the slower you will likely want your touchspeed to be. I don't see a drop off until about .03" for prehit/retract distances with a scanning head(SP25) at 2mm/sec but at .08" - .1" a touchspeed of 3mm/sec yields accurate data.
