BASIC PROBE EXAMPLE

back right corner inside

Demo of inside corner probing using the top right button in Basic Probe Inside Measurements tab.

While all probe entries must be correct, the most important settings to change for each probe sequence are:

NOTE : These distances are always to be set in 'machine units' (mm for metric machine, inch for imperial machine)

Manually set the probe at the intersection of the edges (ie corner) of material as described by the purple dot on the button. Set it to Z CLEARANCE above the top of material. These can be done by eye.

Set EXTRA DEPTH to a value that you want the probe to go below the toptop of material. (So the probe will move from it's start position down Z Clearance + Extra Depth distance)

Set STEP OFF to a value that definitely gives clearance from the wall so that when the probe goes down, it doesn't hit anything.

Set EDGE WIDTH to a value that describes the distance measured from the corner, along the wall to where you wish to probe. This edge distance will be used along the X wall and then the Y wall.
