    My freebie probing software project for Mach might be of interest. http://www.razordance.co.uk/probe25D.htm. The probe I made when I first wrote the software took me about half an hour to make - it was pretty crappy but surprisingly accurate.

    Andre did some better vids than mine. You can see them via this link http://www.machsupport.com/forum/ind....html#msg97649
