For a future video, please consider one on the initial setup and maintenance of this tool, which is one of it's few drawbacks. I don't know how it's accomplished with this model as I have only used a Renishaw model in the past. People should be aware of the necessity of verifying that the stylus is within a few thousandths or less of being in line with the spindle axis and that this should be checked on a regular basis. There also should be some function within the control to lock out the ability of the spindle to start while the probe is in it. Very good video; concise, informative and to-the-point. You gained a sub today and I look forward to future offerings.
Fantastic. I'm a novice with CNC, bought the D840. Just started 3D carves over the past year. I am very interested in this accessory! Would love to have a how too videos on setup and an in dept video of all screen functions.
Do you know if there is a way to use the touch prob to indicate material in if its not square on the machine? For example if you placed that material on the table at a slight angle, could you touch down the side of the material with the touch prob to indicate its postion and still machine all your holes in the correct location?
This proves that my words are true. No one from Stevecraft spoke to me knows what the problem is about their failed device. Experience will prove this to everyone.
I understand how the probe precisely zeroes the X/Y/Z surface of the material to mill, but once you remove the probe how does the controller know the length of the tool bit in the spindle?
I know this is old but I would think with the probe you'd use that to calibrate your tool setter, and then with that at a fixed height, that is your reference for all tools. Then as long as you never adjust the gauge length of the probe relative to the spindle you can more-or-less continue to touch off tools to the reference (with some periodic calibrations of course). At least that's how I do it on my Haas.
I appreciate the tips. I ended up with a Laguna IQ Pro about a year ago (your Q-series was just being announced then, plus I wanted the ability to machine past the table bed a bit for vertical mounting of parts), and have to deal with a limiting hand-held controller. I don't know of a way to use something like this with a HHC. Any ideas? Your Q-series looks better and better every time I see something on it. I like the ISO30 tool holders (mine uses smaller ISO20 - not as hefty, but ok, I guess). Had to build my own stand, too - kind of a pain... Nice system you're putting together there!
Thank you for the compliments. Sorry we were not more ready when you needed to buy. I do like the ISO30 tool holders as well so I can use up to 3/4" shank tooling. The spindle is more than powerful enough for this. We might have a vertical solution soon :-)
The customer support was told me that I need drill 2mm hole into my spoil board and to adjust the 3 screws till probe be perfectly centered. They told me that I need home the toch probe to x and y axles. Can you tell me how to do it please? (How to add this point to UCCNC?)
@@StepcraftInc by me the center of circle isnt corect. how to fix that. I want the center of the tool to be exsacly of the centre of cylinder. how to fix this? I see some offset that is on +y

Is it possible to rewrite the macro for probing to a macro to determine the zero point of the workpice? As like in this video: th-cam.com/video/bhZdbgM6S70/w-d-xo.html
but this is not a standard spindle that uses a nut to tighten the bit... can you explain what's gong on? what loss gain of Z does this spindle system create? Don't be shy in explaining thoroughly... or point to some documentation that spells it out. t.y.
nice. you can do a complete tutorial with tool offsets. people come here from overpriced diy crap cnc and they should be educated in proper functioning machines of entry pro level.

Once you have used the 3d probe you do not want to miss it again. Also the 3d probe screenset for UCCNC is very good .

Thank you so much! We will be making more videos on this tool which include the setup and calibration.
I watched this vid today and my 1st thought was...why the hack there is no initialisation to setup the touch probe...😱
Have one, and it works with those 1.2112 screenset probe macros that I've tried. Haven't tried all of them, yet. Great tool.

You can tell UCCNC (and many others) to measure the angle between 2 points, which is pretty much what you want
Great video. Could one use this touch probe to “scan” an existing curved object and place the data back in vector pro?
What is the orientation of the machine before probing?
This proves that my words are true. No one from Stevecraft spoke to me knows what the problem is about their failed device. Experience will prove this to everyone.
What is the setup to be able to pop in a spot drill like the one in this video at 4:40?
Is that Aluminum just glued to the spoil board?
Gotta love UCCNC for the home gamers :).
I understand how the probe precisely zeroes the X/Y/Z surface of the material to mill, but once you remove the probe how does the controller know the length of the tool bit in the spindle?
you have to 0 z axis again
@@MainCharacterxD Thanks. That was obvious indeed.

Does it work with ATC ?
Good video. You should do one on digitizing for bed leveling.
Already on the board to shoot :-) - THANK YOU
What version of UCCNC is this? I don't find anything similar in my (Stepcraft)version.

Please email support@stepcraft.us and we can send you the instructions
So are you getting close to having new videos using the 3D touch probe?
How to remove the offset from the touch probe? I mean the center of tool to be exactly on the edge corner
It is done in the Macro that we wrote. It can be modified for any diameter of probe tip

Which models are supported for this probe ? D420 ?
This will work on all Stepcraft machines

Can I used it on fusion 360 as option probing?
yes you can
How do I get the suitable macros for UCCNC?
