Type in either .118 or -.118 in the field shown below. The red line below shows a positive direction. To
move the plane to the opposite side of the red line type in .118. Notice the ‘Digitize’ tab is selected. Again,
.118 represents half of the probe diameter. The full diameter of the probe is .236(6 mm).
PLANE #2
Plane #2 can be the most difficult to define. You will be using the side of the probe to pick up the
three different points that will be making up the plane, instead of using the tip of the probe as used
on the previous plane. So there will be no need to move the plane after it has been set. Satart by
going back to the step to create a plane and clicking on “Add a New Plane for Probing” to activate the
“AddAPlaneWizzard”.
Hand wheel X, Y, Z, A, and B around until you can position the probe to the approximate points shown
below. Points #1 and #2 can be picked up just to the left and to the right of the valve guide, being straight
across from eachother, as square as possible to the valve guide. (Make sure that only the ruby is touching
the port and not the shank of the probe).
POINT #1 POINT #2 POINT #3 POINT #3 SIDE VIEW
Point #3 is the short turn radius point and can be the most difficult point of the 3 to define. It will need to
be directly across from the 1st and 2nd point. This point has to be reached from both sides, meaning the
seat side and the exhaust side, such that the shank does not hit in either case. (See drawing below).
The A-axis is rotated at an angle such that the probe and or cutter could contact point #3 from either the
seat side or the exhaust side. Notice point #3 side view how angled the A-axis is to allow the probe to get
to that transition point from either side.
