Fitting a stylus

Fitting a stylus

To fit a stylus to a Renishaw touch-trigger probe, insert the correct threaded stylus or stylus adaptor into the stylus mount and tighten the stylus securely using the S7 stylus tool provided. Tightening the stylus by any means other than the stylus tool provided (e.g. spanners, drill bits, etc.) may cause internal damage to the probe mechanism.

NOTE: All stylus joints should be clean and free from dirt or debris.
