Mitutoyo 050101, Edge Finder, 3/8 Dia. Shank, .200 Dia. Tip

Edge finder works But i would gladly pay the extra $12 and get a starett! Dont get me wrong mitutoyo rocks for almost all measuring tools but for conventional edge finders Starett is literally the only one i will touch. Starett has .0002 repeatedly that is amazing for a edge finder this here mitutoyo hardly gets .0008 which may be good for some but if you are gonna start your setup off already everything else you do will be off by at least that much! It is such a small price to pay for accuracy! I have a $400 Haimer 3d taster and 5 interapids and i still need a conventional edge finder and that is a starett. $25 well spent!!

Good

Works great at half the price

great tool at a great price

Not cheap quality. Accurate within .002 sturdy get value

Good product so far

This may be the lower quality of the Mitutoyo line but this edge finder gives me much greater repeatability than my SPI. I am using it at a max of 700 RPM with outstanding results. Totally Satisfied.

Found the edge. Want to share a tip that has helped me a lot with CNC milling. Example: find the left side, set x to 0. Find the right side. Lets say it was 11.2763. Move edge Finder above top of part. Enter this gcode - G1 X[11.2763/2] f5. It does the math for you, no need to pull out the calculator, it takes you to the center; set x to 0. You are welcome.

Just what I needed.

It could use a little hand finishing to remove a burr here and there. After about 5 minutes of finishing it works great.
