Rant: dropped $1,800 on a Renishaw probe for the Haas, and my old edge finder was doing fine
The probe is great and all, but two months in and I still walk over and bump the part with my finger out of habit, watching the screen like it owes me something, so tell me straight: does the old way ever stop feeling faster than the new toys?

Wait, you STILL walk over and touch the part with your finger two months in? That is wild to me. I figured the whole point of dropping that kind of cash is that you trust the thing and stop second guessing yourself every cycle. The habit part I get, muscle memory is a beast, but if you are still hovering over the screen waiting for it to prove itself after 60 days, that says something about how deep the old routine is burned in. I ran a manual mill for years before we got our first probe and I caught myself doing the same finger bump for way longer than I want to admit. Honestly it never fully goes away, you just start trusting the numbers more than your gut and the walking over gets less and less. Give it another month and you will probably only do it on the sketchy setups.
