The 51 mm length strikes a practical balance between reach and maneuverability, making it suitable for surface profiling, edge measurements, and fixture alignment in busy lab environments. If your applications require a different ball radius, you can easily request an alternative size through the configurator or by e-mail to ensure you have the exact contact geometry for your inspection routines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ITP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42229015248974,"sku":"ITP-THM502010051","price":79.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/3747\/4382\/files\/THM502010051_314b72ea-d527-4ebf-a6d6-917f6507c354.png?v=1739364101","url":"https:\/\/www.protool-ltd.co.uk\/products\/thm502010051","provider":"Protool Precision Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
