Scanning Probe

[Gary]

Thanks for the video! I got my probe last week, haven't had a chance to build a sled or use the probe yet. I feel much more confident now. Thanks so much!

Thanks Michael for an excellent demonstration of the scanning probe. With that demo, I called today and ordered my probe. I figured if I wanted it by summer I better get a jump on it. You made the process look entirely non-threatening and so easy not only a caveman could use it, but maybe, just maybe I could use it also. You need to contact CW to get your commision on the sale. LOL They said it would be a couple of weeks and I was thinking the whole time....yeah... right. I have been looking for the bits that I ordered in January and still haven't received the yet. They said those would be going out Monday, but I am not going to stay at home next week and wait for them. LOL

I watched your video and it was really wonderful. I don't have a scanner yet as I'm still trying to find out a market so I can pay for my machine. Does each item that is being scanned need to go into a sled. If so, what dimensions did you use with yours. I guess I'll learn to bevel and miter after all.

Yes, you have to use a sled to scan any item. I simply built mine out of laminated white shelving I picked up at Home Depot. I bought a 12"x36"x5/8" shelf for the bed platform and a 8"x36"x5/8" shelf to rip for the two side rails, which are 2 7/8" wide by 36" long. I then drilled through the rails into and along the sides of the 12x36 shelf, countersunk the holes in the rails and screwed the side rails to the sides of the shelf. The sled overall height is 2 7/8", but just 2 1/4" from the surface of the sled platform to the top of the side rails.

Kudos! Very helpful.

Question, though about the sled. Doesn't it tend to deform the top rollers along the edges?

Thanks again.

Haven't had any problem with any deformation.
