Definitely gonna sound like a stupid question, but what’re you planning on measuring with it?
What sort of tolerances?Currently 95% cylindrical parts, profiles, radius’ etc until I take on work. Basically everything an optical comparator does, but with the benefit of being linked to a pc by default, which is perfect for my workflow.
What sort of tolerances?
We have a load of Keyence equipment at work, and it’s ok, just not amazing.
Some things it does wicked, but others it just hasn’t the capability to see down to microns.
It’s crap at doing rads, but again, the stuff I’m measuring is like R0.5 and 0.003 max tolerance on diameters.
I think Mitutoyo should be a bit better. They’re ace at after care/support, and also have training shops which you can book in to.
just stumbled across these, all UK made

I agree, should be a min of 10k rpmI think they should have a faster 20 taper spindle tbf
