It features a 0.5-inch cylindrical contact head and a 1\/2-inch shank, making it compatible with standard collets and tool holders. The single-end design uses a visual edge alert mechanism — no batteries or electronics required. Machinists and toolroom technicians rely on this type of tool to establish precise datum points before cutting operations begin. Its all-mechanical operation keeps setup simple and reliable in shop environments where electronic tooling may be impractical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 050109 is suited for use in manual and CNC milling setups in both production and job-shop environments. It is typically used during workholding setup to find the edge of a part or to locate the center of a bore or hole pattern. The 0.5-inch head diameter is a standard size that works across a wide range of vise and fixture setups encountered in general machining work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMechanical operation — no power source required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCylindrical contact head for consistent edge contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5-inch head diameter for standard machining applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch shank fits common collets and tool holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end design for straightforward edge and center location\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVisual edge alert mechanism for clear indication of contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with milling machines, drill presses, and CNC machining centers equipped with standard 1\/2-inch collets or tool holders.

The shank is secured in a standard collet or drill chuck — confirm the spindle is at a safe low RPM before running the finder as required by the tool type. Power down or engage an e-stop before changing or removing the tool from the spindle. Follow the machine manufacturer operating procedures and applicable shop safety standards when using edge and center finders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Edge and Center Finder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mechanical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Contact Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Alert Mechanism\u003c\/strong\u003e: Visual\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MITUTOYO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 050109\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MITUTOYO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51557897765170,"sku":"050109","price":27.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5b9ccaaf4d4e9730d61fc7adcf347efe.jpg?v=1786397666","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/mitutoyo-050109-edge-center-finder-0-5-inch-head","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
