Ability to probe in any sort of vector in the X-Y plane, with result corrected by calibration data.This method is more sensitive to you re-installing the probe in same orientation in spindle every time.

Option 2 builds a full correction table that then accounts for the ‘offset’ in the probe tip to the shank/spindle center line. Mode 2: If your probe has runout, or is non-adjustable, you can manually locate the spindle to the center of the ring gauge (use DTI, co-ax indicator, etc) before calibrating with option 2.Mode 1: If your probe is mechanically runout free (ball tip is concentric with shank/spindle), calibration option 1 auto-finds the center of the gauge ring and runs twice to calibrate deflection errors in the probe.Ability to ‘calibrate’ the probe tip (calibration accounts for errors in probe tip deflection, and backlash within reason) – Now with 2 optional modes!.Probe-It! also provides some features useful for measuring and reverse engineering, such as: Setting origins on pieces to be machined easily (edge finder functionality).Locating positions of corners, edges, and centers of bores.Probe-It! provides some of the same general functionality as found in other existing probing macros and wizards such as: I began writing Probe-It! to be able to provide functionality in Mach3 I didn’t see provided by any other options, even after much searching in forums and on the web… Thanks for your interest in Probe-It!, a wizard add-on for the popular Mach3 CNC control software.
