DIY Touch Probe Stylus

Where have I been I hear you ask!
Well making a touch probe amongst other stuff.
So what do we have here? Its a simple stylus for a cnc touch probe. The probe body is coming along, if all goes well I should have the video for it as my next video.
Details of plans will be in the last video.
Cheers

I would recommend trying a spot drill next time, they're much sturdier than a center drill

Looks like a great project. What is the runout on the probe? How do you adjust out runout of the body? How is the repeatability?

[@CazualHaze]

Thanks for the comment its looking good so far next video should be the build then if all goes well a full check on its performance.
Runout is by four grub screws on the body. Testing the repeatability pre travel and centring repeatability now.
