Have you ever gotten one of those "page not found" / Broken Link pages when searching?  Web guys call it a "404" page, which is the shorthand for an HTTP 404 error, which is basically the webserver telling you "this page cannot be found". We have a little fun with ours, where on it you will find this broken CMM stylus picture representing the broken link. You can test this for yourself, just go to http://hexagonmetrology.us/gobbledygook or similar nonsense. In our line of work, broken styli are unfortunately a way of life--we didn't even have to break one to take the picture, just had to look in the styli cabinet and there it was.  

If you have a few broken, bent, chipped, cracked, thread stripped or otherwise out of commission styli that you need replaced, why not shop the Hexagon Store?  We now have ROMER probes and styli too!
