Thank you very much! TouchDRO really is awesome. I'm excited for all the new features Yuriy is incorporating. I suggested a QR-code based addition to the tool library, and he seemed pretty enthusiastic about the idea. I still feel a bit goofy talking to the camera, but it's getting easier. Kind words like yours definitely help the ol' confidence. Much appreciated!
Snap! I just purchased the exact same touch probe (although I paid a lot more for it) and I just made a video on setting it up for TouchDRO. It'll be out in a few weeks. I was able to do some tests to show how accurate it is and on edge finding I got it to around 20 microns. On centre finding I was able to get about the same but I found out the hard way that you need to have clean collets and a clean spindle bore to get it that accurate. I ended up setting the probe tip diameter to 1.92mm which seems to take care of the latency in the touch probe for edge finding. On centre finding it doesn't matter what the probe tip setting is. The tool you made works great!
Thanks, Mark! The one I bought came with instructions on how to set the X and Y offset, which I found to work relatively well, and allowed me to keep the probe diameter set at 2mm. I've found it to be pretty accurate... Within a few tenths, maybe half a thou tops. Plenty good for the work I do. Looking forward to seeing your video on it!
Honestly? I'm not sure. I got it off of AliExpress... You can find the exact same probe, sold by 100 different names, by 100 different sellers, all with a different price. I searched "CNC touch probe", and got the cheapest one at the time. They're even cheaper, now.
Power tap with a mini mill? It would take a lot more than a bigger pair for that to happen... A bigger motor, for one. It's a good machine, and makes good parts, but it's not powerful enough to get more than a thread or two deep with anything larger than, say, an M4 tap. That being said, I've got a Procunier tapping head, and have tapped dozens of M3 holes under power.
Oh yes, "thinking". Sometimes I do that too :)
This is a good idea and it seems to work just fine.
Sometimes it's hard. Especially when I'm making it up as I go along.
Thanks, Michel! I'm looking forward to using it on an actual project.
Very well done ! Shows the versatility of touchdro also. Great narration and videography!
Thank you very much!

Glad to see a new video out! Good work, Chris! 💜
I'm so glad you enjoyed! I appreciate the encouragement 😊

I have one that I have set to a little less than Ø2mm. I use the USB signal wire for auto-probing in CNC.
Very interesting. Nice work
Very nice work
Thanks a lot! The wrenches will definitely be making appearances in future videos.
Maybe you shoud add a spring loaded ball to hold two halfs togethter? To prevent self dissasembling while tapping threads.
I thought about that. I figure I'll use them as-is for a while, and if it becomes an issue, I'll make some kind of retention mechanism.
Are these tormach or other import?
Cheap import. All my other TTS holders are genuine Tormach... Don't have any runout issues with those. Got what I paid for, this time.
@@fna-wrightengineering thank you for the clarification
@@britenrhodehouse8692 you're welcome!
Nice!
👍 Hello, which manufacturer is the edge finder at 6:45?

Grow some and turn the motor on
