I crashed one of those expensive Haimer stylus tips while initially setting the search parameters. The probe makes some beautifully choreographed moves to find the required edge or corner or centre, then moves to the clearance height resetting the appropriate X or Y coordinates to zero. The LinuxCNC Probe Screen utility will automatically find an inside or outside edge, corner, hole centre or bar centre at the touch of a button.
The probe is permanently mounted on a quick change toolholder and has a replaceable Haimer stylus. For edge finding, centre finding and other work, I use a 3 axis touch probe and the LinuxCNC Probe Screen utility
