This morning I needed to do a quick inspection on a long lathe part, so I put it in a v-block and set it on the CMM...

eyed it up with the Y axis for convenience...

after I took a few measurements I realized it was REALLY well aligned with the CMM... so I checked and double checked.

That sucker was aligned with the CMM's Y axis by about .0003" -- over 14" of length.

I am sure your eyeball was dead on. That .0003" must come from the part. I would check with your lathe operator about that.

Just extremely grateful to witness such an event.

I was running the probe up and down the side of the shaft with X and Z locked, the probe's red light flickering... *wow*

Once, after swapping an end-mill in a CNC mill tool holder, the offset touched off with a difference of only .003". I talked about that one for days...

I'm glad I don't have to compete against you, apestate.
