3 wire probe connections?

[Rare]

Thank you!
Yes I have the exact same probe.

They are pretty good probes for any CNC router work and they seem to be accurate enough for my work. Oh, and the price is right.

[Chaz]

Also just bought one of these. It's tiny, they seem very popular. Will also hook mine up soon, thanks for the info.

I replaced this one on my lathe with the new KP1, because the repeatability is way better.

But this Chinese probe is better than most other very cheap ones.

It's really a pretty good probe and the price is crazy good. It's also well built for what it is. I use it for probing the center of circles in panels and then wall following the shape of panels and the accuracy is really good for what I'm doing. If an instrument hole is off by .003" the customer will never notice.

I'll update the schematic with a pic of the actual probe since there are many "chinese" probes on the market.

I have a PDF and DXF of the schematic is anyone needs it. I could only post an image or pic of the schematic.

Yes 0.003" is no problem for this probe.

Most parts I do have to be within +-0.0003" deviation

I know there are you mill and lathe guys out there who need tighter tolerances. You may see .003" and say "damn, that's HUGE" but for a router guy chopping wood that's by far "close enough" by a long shot. It's even close enough for my aviation panel work in aluminum. I can barely see light through my calipers when set to .003" For a $60 probe and less than $8 for a panel mount connector to wire it to Acorn it's awesome.

[suntravel]

Yep and the connector you have linked is also advertised as aviation style

Oh boy, here we go again.

And for the record, I didn't link to any connector, that was Scott, I use XLR connectors. Not those FAKE, SO CALLED aviation connectors.

Who/what you callin' fake!?
