On my '07 VF-2ss, the table probe is roughly 3" in from max X- travel, and it just kills me. With two vices on that little table, I run out of room quickly. I would ask the tech to fire up the machine, run the table to max X- travel, back it up maybe .125" and center the probe under the spindle right there. That's all you will need because like Cory said, diameter measurement is done in Y.
The tech will be indicating and calibrating your probes, so ask him to move the table probe before he does that and it should create very little additional work for him/her. |
