Not sure if spindle is the right term to use for the probe needle or pin or spindle, the piece that actually touches the surface. My question is should the spindle move somewhat in any direction of about a 1/4 of an inch including up and down while holding the scanning probe and moving the spindle around? I was thinking it would not be flexible at all. I noticed while scanning there was play in the spindle, maybe this is normal.

it does move slightly, thats what tells it to move up and down during scan.
