I have been looking at around 2000 or late 90s VF-x machines, very rarely are they sold with probing. Talking to Haas service, the story seemed to be that Haas had no retrofit solution for a pre-LCD machine (around 2004), but that I should talk to Renishaw. Renishaw quoted me $7500 for the parts to do the work myself, or $11,500 for them to do it. A little hard to justify on a $25K machine.
Is there another alternative for probing?
