Three hours later I worked it out
Outer diameter probing
Place the object fixed to the worktable.
Place the probe at the approximate centre of the object, about 5mm above the object upper height. Watch for clearance of surface features or clamps.
Select Outer Circle Probe
Set P1 to X and make the value equal to the approximate radius plus 10%
Same for P2 for the Y axis
Set the Clearance value to something like -5 to -10 AND SET IT TO Z !!
This will tell the probe to move down to this value when probing. It needs to be a number that goes just below the surface of the object without hitting the worktable. Watch out when probing very thin materials.
Set Fast Find to 150mm and Slow Find to 10mm
Start probe.
