Mechanical tools for measuring roughness have shown misrepresented profile considering the fact that the tip of diamond sensor is not "ideally sharp", it only follows the outline of actual profile. Profile details can be followed by optical scanning. During observation of profile records and theoretically defined rounded tool tip copying considerable disproportions can be found. This fact leads to incorrectly determination of feed with defined value of Rz and selected tool tip radius in practice. The aim of the paper is to identify the reasons of such differences and suggest a process of their elimination. ER
