renishaw probing on haas mini mill

[kwhite2]

trying to probe .125 dia, probe tip is .078, cant seem to control back off distance, runs into opposite side, is it possible to control with variable, using 9814

[Matt@RFR]

Variable #562 controls back off distance of the probe. You can set it within your program:

#562=.015

Then, at the end of your probing routines, if you feel the need, just set it back to whatever is standard, which I think is .200".

If you are probing for size, you may want to verify you get good numbers with the back off so small.
