0.5mm tip + TP20

Hello all,

When using a single 0.5x20 ruby tip I have noticed all my Tigo's with TP20 modules give around 5μm of std while calibration. It has always been like this, validated, verified etc. The results between Tigos with X1C and TP20 when using a 0.5mm tip is day and night.  The X1C seems to be a whapping 4 times more repeatable and in my company TP20 is always considered to be the less precise option to make programs with. Is it supposed to be like this? (Keep in mind that due to making rather small parts, almost all programs have a 0.5 tip probing something with a TP callout or Datum).

Finally, 0.5 tips seem to work better with Low force modules but the issue applies to standard modules as well.
