so just curious what peoples thoughts are on the probes?
currently I have a z-height gauge, a 10ths dial in a TTS holder to check to make sure I have the part/vise/etc on the table straight and one of the good old fashioned wobbly edge finders (not sure what they are really called?)...
just seems to me I could replace all, or at least 2 of those with one probe?
so I was just curious, what do people who actually have a probe use them for? just for 3d digitizing? or do you use them for the initial stock setup?
does either the active or passive probe work well as a Z-height or edge finder?
the active probe seems why more accurate, but OMG!!! the $$$$
the passive probe still seems a bit $$$ but not quite as OMG!!!! inspiring as the active probe... but is it accurate enough to use for xyz finding?
how does that 3d digitizing work?
