Fitting CNC stylus 

CNC Stylus has a standardised 43mm boss which is compatible with a wide range of CNC 

machines. The CNC Stylus should be clamped securely around the boss.

Setting Z datum 

The CNC Stylus features a constant pressure system, using gravity. This ensures the 

chosen tool maintains an even contact with the material surface, irrespective of any 
deviation in flatness. 

 
This feature is achieved by allowing the barrel to move freely inside the boss. As built, 

travel is 4mm.
