The probe manual says the height limitation for an object to scan is 1”. Can you fool it is the question.
For example, and just an example, scanning a hammer which laid flat is say
1 1/4” high. So when the machine goes in to a homing position and asks for the starting point of the scan, could I place a ¾” thick board at that point and let it touch down and then do likewise at the other end of the scan project.
If my assumption is correct the scan will start ¾” above the sled and scan the hammer with a ¼” to spare with regards to the height limitation.
Guess I could try it if no one else has but that’s the purpose of this forum – to learn from others.
