Newbie here.
I can hear the laughing now. O.k., Ok. everyone calm done now. Boss brings in the part , about 12" diameter, it's a flat plate with close to 300 holes in it, with some other pretty simple features. However, the holes are already threaded, as they are 4-40 threaded holes. Do I have to create a cylinder for the holes? I don't even have a probe small enough to move around in these little holes. ( Well, my wife thinks different, but we won't go there.
)LOL ( Actually John Holmes and I run neck and neck in size values (not).
I have read some other posts on the forum how to check threaded holes, but this seems to be a bit tough. If the holes were only drilled ,it would be nice, but I am not for sure what to do here. A solid shank probe of some sort would probably do the trick. I don't have any on hand at work right now. Otherwise, I have to go to the Microhite and setup for a long inspection. By the way T.P. of the holes to -A-B-is .004.
Thanks for your help in advance.
I had to remind my boss that I have only been on the CMM for 17 hours total in learning experience with no formal training.
I know: I should have figured this thing out by now.
