Things you will need: OF Woodworker (same process for machinist, but adjust sizes) an accurate 36" ruler (a mm rule would be easier, but I didn’t have one) 1/4" shank, 1/4" 45 degree v-bit (larger bits will work, but makes it more difficult to see) Blue tape or masking tape Optional - fine grained 12" machinist ruler Process: …

Another thing to check is the probe block settings. They could be off for the X. There is a post somewhere on that.
