Kwackers had a good idea in another forum. Adding a spring and ball to push the body towards the rocker so it can be used horizontally. It will also pre-load the shaft so reducing any wobble caused by the force from the rocker. |

What are you making your probes out of? I scored a used Blake off of Fee-Bay sans the probes. I made a straight one out of some bronze. Would hardened drill rod be any better? The Blake eats up a lot of Z-axis so one of yours is on my project list. |

I think it was a piece of silver steel, but anything reasonably stiff would do. Drill rod would be perfect :) |

Made a curved one out of bronze again and tried it. Just one use against a piece of aluminum had put a tiny flat spot in it. So I made some out of drill rod and hardened the tips: Freehanded everything so there are some goofs but the ball-ends are pretty smooth. |
