I was having trouble getting diameters to come out correct so I calibrated my probe with a certified sphere. I followed the procedure to the point. It was measuring as much as 1.5mm small, after a few calibrations, I am now measuring .4mm big. My std dev was at .016 and max error at .033. My 15mm and 3mm measure fine, length and point checkout also were fine. I have an Infinite 2.0 with 2012 mr1. Any suggestions?
The only ones I've ever had were carbide "pointers", but they aren't actually a sharp point, but a 0.25mm diameter probe. Hard to calibrate? Not any harder than a disk probe. HOWEVER, you slow way down to calibrate them so you don't (1) chip the probe and (2) put a ding in the cal-tool.
Never calibrated a disk probe, but I have heard for alot of past/current arm users that they didnt prefer them since the calibration was a pita. I do see a place for them just never used one.
