I saw in one of your pictures a tool touch of sensor. Which brand is it? And are you happy with it?

Today I set up automatic tool measuring with a modified 3D probe. Way faster than skim cuts, under 30s per tool and ready to go

nice! very cool! if you add "Acorn" as a keyword into the title of the video it will get more hits. "DIY" is another good one to add as well
