I am very pleased with the touch probe and the LinuxCNC Probe Screen utility. Haimer 3D Taster Universal Analog Touch Probe CNC Need Help- Haimer Zero. The lower search speeds only add about 10 to 15 seconds to each operation, but is much safer. However, when I use other fingers or the tip of the my thumb, it works badly. After that, I set the search speed fairly low ( 10 and 2 inches per minute) to be within human reaction times rather than having it whizzing about at the speed of light. I can manage the touch-and-hold by using the belly of my thumb. I crashed one of those expensive Haimer stylus tips while initially setting the search parameters. The probe makes some beautifully choreographed moves to find the required edge or corner or centre, then moves to the clearance height resetting the appropriate X or Y coordinates to zero. The LinuxCNC Probe Screen utility will automatically find an inside or outside edge, corner, hole centre or bar centre at the touch of a button. The probe is permanently mounted on a quick change toolholder and has a replaceable Haimer stylus. For edge finding, centre finding and other work, I use a 3 axis touch probe and the LinuxCNC Probe Screen utility
