September 2018. I have used my ITTP for 9 months and it continues to be the best investment I have made in terms of tooling for my Tormach. Considering all the steps and components Cliff makes for these they are a GREAT value. I still use my ITTP EVERYDAY and continue to save time and create very accurate and repeatable parts because of it. Thanks again Cliff. Douglas Darby TX USA
September 2018. Hi Cliff! John here in Orlando. I love my ITTP Sir! The more I utilize it the more applications I come up with for it. I have tested it's impact tolerance and was pleasantly surprised. malfunctioning biounit (me) as I was adjusting to it's use.

September 2018. Love My ITTP. Flawless, and I have crashed it many times, without any damage to the probe.
Update June 2019. I love my probe. Very reliable , Accurate, and very impact tolerant! Sam tolerant even. LOL No false triggers in over 2 years. CNC4XR7 USA
I have one of the beta units (early 2017) and it's been faultless in operation - miles better than the Wild Horse probe I have.

December 2018. The ITTP is one of the best tools I have purchased for my Tormach machines! I've been using it for almost two years now with zero
issues or inaccuracy problems. I lost count of how much money the ITTP has saved me in broken probe tips! Outstanding quality all the
way around. Cliff is a perfectionist to a whole new level.

January 2019. I have been using the ITTP extensively. I just keep my Haimer in its box now. My center scope and dial indicator is seeing less use as well. I find the ITTP's tip remained concentric after regular use, so I'm really happy with that. Today I just did some checks on the ITTP again just to make sure it is still accurate.
With the exact feed, effective diameter and spindle orientation, I am able to get X+/X- and Y+/Y- to vary under 0.01mm. It's really good! I'm happy that it works reliably and consistently for me. It's a huge time saver. S.Tan. Malaysia

February 2019. I purchased an ITTP from you some months ago and I wish to express how pleased with it I am.
I am self taught machinist trying to make a 5” scale steam loco (among other projects) and it is proving very time saving. Thanks again. Ian from “Sometimes Model Engineering”
February 2019. Hey Cliff, hope you're doing well. Wanted to circle back with you and let you know how much I absolutely love the ITTP! I've only had a handful of soft crashes since switching, unit is holding up great. I find it is so much easier to use compared to the Haimer I had before to the point that I've sold my old passive probe as well as my Haimer!

March 2019. Hey Cliff, Just wanted to say that I’m really loving your ittp. It’s been super reliable and very accurate. And it also just saves me time and helps keep me from making mistakes. Well done! R.S. USA
February 2019. Hello Cliff - Could you send me a Paypal invoice for another ITTP Probe. I sold my machine and they wanted the probe, so I would like to buy another one to go with my new mill. Thanks!! 'Ogee Lux'
March 2019. We love the probe. I could have bought the active probe for a little more but it wouldn’t take the abuse yours can. You’ve made a very nice product. We are happy with it. Flux Engineering
April 2019. Hi Cliff. I can report that the Hallmark ITTP is a good fit with the Centroid Acorn controller. I found your probe to be very well made, robust, simple and accurate. The price was also good resulting in a sound investment. Attached to Acorn’s IN7 block the Hallmark ITTP is a strait foreword solution to adding touch probe capability to any machine with an Acorn controller. Highly recommended! - Wayne M USA
June 2019. Well just to let you know I got your probe set up and working. For the final test ran the probe cycle to find the rectangular boss center. At 10 inches a minute it was a very relaxed test. So I changed the feed rate to 55 inches a minute as you suggested. And I stood back and hit the run button and just about jumped out of my skin, wasn’t expecting it to take off that fast. I haven’t run a CNC machine for well over a year now and wasn’t expecting it.. my life has been slowing down, until I hit the run button lol . It was really a great experience watching the probe pick up all four sides and center to position. After 45 years of machining manually, and now with automatic probe all I can think of is the wasted time with a manual indicator! Mitch M.M. USA
May 2019. Hi Cliff. Just wanted to say that I have been giving your ITTP a real workout. I am happy with it, solid product, great value. Don B. USA
February 2020. FWIW, I'm a happy customer of the ITTP.
I've crashed it a few times, but more importantly, I once started the spindle with the probe in and wire connected, and although I was fast on the E-stop, it still wrapped the cable tight on it.
It survived and still works fine, after re-adjusting.
Thanks Cliff for a robust tool!" Jon W, California
February 2020. The probe works beautifully. I've watched all the instructional videos/manuals. The pre-travel is only .001" to maybe .0015". This thing is great. I was able to very quickly check the accuracy of my work set-up and find the work coordinates. Long gone are the days of an edge finder. Thanks again! Dean W. USA
June 2020. Cliff, I just watched your videos on Z tool setters. Very informative. Keep it up.
By the way, your probe is working awesome. Ben R USA
September 2020 Hi Cliff . I would like to order another probe just like the one I got last year for a spare. It is best thing I got for this machine. Thanks

ITTP. October 2020. Hi. I’ve been using one of your probes since springtime this year. I have to say I couldn’t be happier with it. It’s really a game changer for the work I do. Locating parts is now quick and easy and as accurate as I need, or I should say, as accurate as the Tormach is capable of. The Haimer is now only used on the Haas mini mill just for locating stock for first ops. The Tormach used for secondary or backside ops and the Tormach probing routines with your probe is excellent. I’d recommend your probe for any Tormach user. It’s really not an exaggeration to say it’s a game changer compared to Haimer on the Tormach. Alistair USA
12mm shank ITTP. October 2021. Been using my pre release unit daily , very happy with its performance compared to the other units I was using. Daniel C. Australia.
ITTP. December 2021. These days since I bought the ITTP Hallmark probe I rarely use my Haimer Taster to do my referencing. The Haimer still has its uses but less and less so. The ITTP in conjunction with PathPilot probing routines meet all my referencing needs to a level of accuracy that suits. Woody's Workshop.
ITTP. February 2022. I have had my ITTP probe for over a year now and I simply LOVE it! I show it off in all my videos. You delivered a great tool. Thank you. Last Bastion Labs
ITTP May 2022. I love this product. Keep up the good work..Cheers from the USA/Chicago Ralph L.
ITTP pro. May 2022. Hi Cliff, Just wanted to get back to you with some feedback.
My ITTP pro is fantastic. It is quite a bit more accurate than our Haimer.
The 2m unpluggable cable works perfectly - it goes up out of the opening in the top of the enclosure and across the top of the electrical cabinet to the accessory socket on the 1100MX.
Great piece of kit. And so much quicker and easier than the Haimer, for which I am hoping I will never have to buy another tip! Andrew P. USA
LTS-E. July 2021. Cliff, I set all my lathe tools today using the LTS-E - and it worked extremely well….this is the only way to do this…fast, efficient, and most importantly accurate.
I like the fact that what would have taken me about an hour to accurately set up 8 lathe tools, only took me about 15 minutes without cutting any material.
Thanks again for the well thought out and executed design.

ITTP. October 2021. Hi Cliff. I have one of your ITTP probes on my Tormach 770 mill and I love it!
I can't understand why anyone would run a personal CNC mill without one.

LTS-M May 2022. Hi Cliff, I want to thank you. The LTS-M was easy to set up and is working very well. Looking forward to the fact this will save me a lot of time and headache setting up boring tools, which tend to get swapped out frequently. Adam S. USA
ITTP. November 2022. I purchased a Hallmark ITTP in 2018 and have been very satisfied with its performance and durability. " Mark. USA
ITTP pro. March 2023. Hi Cliff, Received the probe yesterday and was able to quickly get it concentric and run it through some tests. Just wanted to pass along my appreciation for the quality and workmanship that you put into this product. It's a treat to have followed along on YouTube from your early prototypes to holding one in my hand years later. Great stuff. Steve R. USA
