If all my toolmakers (not operators) are long time users of edge finders and indicators, and are proficient using them, what advantage is a probe? We have all the measuring tools we need to measure parts, so I don't see why we would scan to measure. The only scenario I can see is if we had castings that we had to center up bore or features for each part, but we don't do any of that kind of work. What are some real world examples of how the are faster / better than someone who uses an indicator efficiently?
