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

This thing works very well, is very accurate, and find that I can get an edge location to about 0.001 just fine. I have made the error of driving it hard into my stock along the Z-axis a couple of times and it still keeps going! It is also very forgiving when over driven horizontally. When using it I typically turn the spindle at about 100-300 rpm so that the miss-alignment wobble is very visible. I have used it against mild steel, Al, and plastic and there is no visible wear on the tool. I should purchase a spare or two.

Great edge finder for the manual mill. This is a replacement for a Starrett edge finder that broke and it is every bit as well made and high quality. I also ordered a few cheap Chinese edge finders and wish I had not. In terms of quality this is a far superior tool

I dont know who makes this as it has no markings on it. But it does work very well for edge finding on my bridgeport.

Part was delivered in a timely manner, and it is all you could ask for in an edge finder. Its a Mitutoyo, and it keeps with the Mitutoyo standard of quality. The spring action is strong. Theres no questioning did it jump or didnt it? like sometimes happens with lesser quality edge finders. Good quality part, good price, good shipping time. Cant ask for more than that.

I bought this because the budget version I was using was wearing out or somehow got damaged. This is somewhat more expensive, but not by that much, and it just works better. The motion of the head at the edge point is significantly more, so easier to see, and when you back off a little, it comes right back to the center. For work with students, who dont always take it as slow as they should, this makes a big difference.

Works well

Got one for work for my and by buddy and use it all the time on a cnc machine. accurate & consistent. I have no problems with it and it comes with a little case to keep it nicer for longer.

Great value for my dollar. Bought two one for me the other for my coworker. Use it everyday at work really accurate.

Great easy to use ! Made in USA very high quality.

Im not pleased with the way it was shipped, there was a small protective slide that it went in, but it wouldnt protect it from blunt damage. Mine came perfectly fine though, not overly oiled either. I love Mitutoyo, I would recommend this, but would let them know it doesnt come overly protected from shipping damage. This is a high precision tool, so slight damage can effect greatly.
