Having a bit of a brain fart today and wanting a bit of help.
I made some soft-jaws for a horn button to engrave, however, I am finding that on the contoured horn top the engraving is hitting on the bottom part of the piece before the top piece. The bottom of the button will engrave at -.006 depth, and the top won't get touched until about -.018, and it's fairly progressive. At first I thought it might be the horn button, as I didn't make it, but I had the same results across two horn buttons so I'm pretty confident it's a "me," problem.
I'm trying to determine if my soft jaws are actually at the same Z height, and wondering if I can use my Renishaw to do that. I'm just not sure how to inspect/measure that using the probe.
Any help is appreciated!
