Probing the centers of the bores and their relationship to each other was very easy. The reason for mentioning the brand becomes important in a minute. I have a new Doosan DNM5700 with the Renishaw OMP60 IR touch probe.
Kind of a nightmare to accurately reproduce by conventional measuring. Also the shapes of the plates are filled with angles and radius and such. There are four plates and other than the 2 linear rail holes everything is different. I have a guy who is going to reverse engineer some guide plates for a local sawmill machine. First an explanation of why I want to do this.
