5 axis touch off trick I wish I figured out 10 years back
Used to keep crashing my probe on the rotary table here in Dayton. Then an old timer at the shop showed me to zero off a dummy block first, not the part face. Saves me like 30 mins per setup and zero busted styli this month. Anyone else switch to that method or still raw-dogging it?

That "dummy block first" trick is solid, but I gotta ask, how do you handle the offset after you touch off on the block? Do you just add the difference in your head or does your control have a way to auto shift the work offset? Cause I've seen guys swear by it but then they always have to do math and that's where the mistakes creep in. Also, what material you using for that block, aluminum or something harder?
