    Check the box to zero the X and Y coordinates.
    Press the X Pocket button.
    When it stops, press the Y Pocket button.

    What kind of probe does that need for a plastic box?
    You think that's too expensive? You're not a Model Engineer are you? :D

    Fair point. I think I'll have to maybe stand my edge finder up and quickly move it as it probes......

    You'd need to use an actual probe, rather than the tool and a conductive plate.

    But you could use the touch plate, and manually move it from side to side if you are quick enough.

    Impressed with the screen set. I just used a old tool and stood my probe plate vetical against the side of the box and probed z and y. Worked a treat..

    That's what I do, although I've never probed a pocket.
    If you use the plate to find an edge, make sure you enter the plate thickness in the Plate Offset box, and the tool diameter in the Probe Diameter box.
