Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Renishaw, digitizers

If you use a slightly over sized (relative to the ball diameters) ball end
mill fopr the pockets, the probe/ball assembly would tend to "self-center"
and this would eliminate both the problems mentioned by Elliot as well as
his solution...using slots. machining the ball pockets would be much
simpler too.
