Fix Assist

[[Mi...]]

Does anyone here know if the fix assist has the ability to turn a probe to 120 degrees? I have a 6 way hub with the styli threads at 60 deg apart. I need to build out a system where the styli are at 120 using said hub I bought. It will end up being a 3 way system. I cant remember if the fixassist will do that or not.

Also, what master sphere would you guys recommend for calibrating a 0.5 mm probe?

Short answer - yes. 🙂

I have a 16mm sphere that works fine for 0.5mm probes

Hello,
We use an 8 mm sphere to calibrate our 0.5 mm or 0.3 mm probes. Whether a larger sphere can be used depends on the length of the shank. The problem is that it is difficult to tell whether the shank has collided with anything during calibration: the parts are too small to be visible.
That was the reason we decided to use an 8 mm sphere.

We also work with an 8 mm RS for small stylus balls.

I use a 30mm sphere for Ø0.5mm styli on our Micuras.

You need a minimum LE of 15mm. 🤷‍♂️
