Number of points

I was wondering if anyone has any sort of rule-of-thumb about how many points to take on diameters. I know that varies for size and/or maybe what kind of tolerance on the feature. I mean, I know how many hits I usually take on certain features and what works for me, but is there any sort of stuff out there that talks about recommended numbers of hits for features? Just wanted peoples thoughts on this...

  • One way to determine the correct minimum number of hits in a circle is to start off with the minimum and then increase the number of hits until the results stop varying enough to matter to you. This is going to be related to the circle size and process used to create the circle.


    One good practice is to study different methods on a ring gauge, number of hits, clockwise, anticlockwise, pre hit / retracts, touch speed's, probe size, touch trigger, scanning etc. Then check the results against the calibrated ring size.
