Does the touch probe determine squareness?

Hi al

This is probably a stupid question but if it’s answered in the guides then I’ve missed it, unless it’s so ridiculous people didn’t even bother considering it! Anyway…

If I fix a workpiece down exaggeratedly wonky and then probe all axes, all straight lines in my test look to be attempting to follow what the machine will do without combining X and Y movements. I’m assuming this is meant to be the case?

At the moment I’m using a much smaller spoiler board for my WorkBee so has not been machined to give any references or anything like that.

Any thoughts appreciated!

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi Reyes,

Thanks for your email.

The Touch Probe only finds the corner, it does not determine the skewness of he material on the workbed and account for it I am afraid,
