DIG3D - My new 3D probe

I bought this 3D probe a few months ago and I thought that it's time to show it. It is a very small one, just as I wanted. The shaft is 6mm in diameter, which is the largest I can have on my small CNC with ER11 collet. The tip is 3mm ball tip, and is made of stainless steel. I measured the ball diameter, and my instruments shows exactly 3mm in every direction, so that is good enough for me. The probe arrived with a lot of concentric error (0.15mm) which is of course useless, but after some tuning using the three grub screws, I tuned it down to 0.03mm, which is OK for now. Later on I will tune it once again to a better precision. I hope you enjoy this video, and please have a look around and see if you find more interesting videos about my activities.
