    CMM Retrofit?

    Search turned up nobody via CMM.


    Clean used one owner CMM's with outdated and more than likely - locked up (key) and un-supported software are cheap.

    This seems like the simplest of retros going eh? (I have never personally ran a CMM.)

    Especially if it is a basic non-C-axis model?

    Getting a CMM running should be easy. And, as you say, they are around for scrap price.

    As time permits, I'm making my mill into a CMM. I mounted a LASER in a tool holder and wrote scanning routines last winter. The work is published here on the zone.

    Next job is to mount a renishaw probe (scored one at an auction this summer) and write probe routines.
