“Ain’t ever seen this before… think I can get away with just a tip or am I gonna need the whole unit? It was crashed in Z”

“It was like that when I came in”
“Well , change the tip , put it back on center , then try and recalibrate it. Then run a couple of tests , If it acts normal, repeats then you got lucky”
“I've never seen a shank like that before, and I have some long ceramic shanks. What was it before it got smashed? But anyway, replace the tip and recalibrate.”
“Definitely needs to be recalibrate if it works. Needs new stilus for sure. Check ruby for run out dial it in so there isn't any. Then run a calibration cycle.”
“about $4,000 to $6.000 worth, or $1,400 on exchange”
