Usage

1. Before using the probe, it is good practice to test the clip against the Probe. If everything is working then the light on the Probe will turn from green to red.
2. After confirming the Probe is operational, attach the clip to the endmill as shown in the image above.
3. Position the endmill in the appropriate location relative to what type of probing operation you are going to perform.

NOTE: A clearance of 12mm (maximum) or less is required between the material and the cutter
