We have been told a couple of different things about leaving the CMM at the end of the day.
Some indicate that leaving the CMM in the "home" position will allow less opportunity for problems. Others say this is being overly cautious. Opinions?
 
Personal opinion... There's no such thing as being "overly cautious" when it comes to valuable equipment.

I don't own a CMM, but I do clean and properly store my measuring instruments at the end of each day.

We have a Leitz. I've been told by Hexagon service that we should put the cmm at one extreme or the other ( not necessarily the home position ) each night. The reason they give is leaving the probe in the center will, over time, cause distortion in the center of the granite beam. Reducing accuracy.
