    Desperately need a way to set offsets on X and Y.

    Looked at the Haimer stuff again but even their smallest one is over 100mm long.
    The X6 has 85mm of travel in Z so really pushing it I think if I was to get one of those.

    Any other options out there?
    That TPA2 is still not in stock.

    if machining metals then all you really need is a rod of known diameter (e.g. 6mm), then you can use probing to find the edges just like the Z-height probe does.

    The downside is that it only works with conductive materials, that's one area where a proper touch probe has an advantage.
