Mitutoyo 050110 Edge Center Finder 0.2 in Double End

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 050110 is a mechanical edge and center finder designed for locating workpiece edges and center points on milling machines and machining centers. It features a 0.2 inch cylindrical contact head and a 1/2 inch shank diameter, making it compatible with standard collets and chucks used in machine shop environments. The double-end configuration provides two usable contact ends, extending tool life. Edge offset is detected visually, allowing the operator to identify the contact point without electronic readout equipment. Licensed machinists and CNC setup technicians are the primary users of this tool.

This edge and center finder is suited for manual mills, knee mills, and CNC machining centers in both production and toolroom settings. It is used during workpiece setup to establish X and Y datum points before cutting operations begin. The mechanical, non-powered design requires no batteries or wiring, making it a straightforward addition to any setup toolkit. It is appropriate for use on ferrous and non-ferrous materials where edge detection accuracy is required during workholding setup.

Key Features

• 0.2 inch cylindrical contact head for precise edge location
• 1/2 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and tool holders
• Double-end design provides two working contact surfaces
• Mechanical operation with visual edge alert — no power source required

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC setup technicians. Insert the 1/2 inch shank into a collet or chuck and tighten to the machine manufacturer's specified holding torque. Power down the spindle before inserting or removing the tool. Handle the cylindrical contact tip carefully to avoid damage that would affect runout accuracy.
