WCS offset Probing mid cycle

[jbrady2LHAKK]

Hey Guys,
I've got an operation that requires probing a bore to set the WCS 0 to the center of the bore. 

After manually flipping the part after the first op I would like to probe the corner of the stock to find a relative position, set the WCS 0 then using that position to probe the bore to set the WCS for machining. 
What's the best way to go about it? I have a few ideas but am hoping for some input thanks!

Hi @jbrady2LHAKK,

I cant see any issue on that workflow, you would just need 2 Probe WCS items in the browser, the first to come off the corner and then the second to come off the bore. 

Is there any reason you cannot come directly off the bore in the first instance. You can always increase the approach and overtravel distances to make sure you "find" the feature.

I did a tutorial on Probe WCS where I probes a bore on my second op, I had to machine the top off a part first to then expose the feature.

Thanks I thought it would be that simple. 

The bore is small at only .375" so there's too much room for the operator to misalign and this is a very low volume part so no fixed fixturing to reference, just chucked up in the vise
