Will an un-calibrated tip give good positional data?
I know that size data would be untrustworthy but are there cases where positional data would be unaffected?
Specifically, the operator here ran a program on a cylindrical part but did not calibrate the tip first. This program uses only one tip and one angle so correlation between tips/angles is not an issue. This program does not report any sizes (diameters) but only the location (TP RFS) of several different diameters back to the datum diameter.
Would the position data reported be accurate?
I'm trying to save some re-work and re-measure.
