Tesa Brown Sharpe 599-792-1 Edge Finder Double End Mechanical

Product Description

The TESA BROWN SHARPE 599-792-1 is a double-end mechanical edge finder designed for locating workpiece edges on milling machines, machining centers, and similar CNC or manual setups. It features two cylindrical contact heads - one at 0.2 inches (approximately 5 mm) and one at 0.5 inches - on a 0.5-inch shank. Accuracy is rated at 0.0005 inches, making it a reliable choice for precise part setup and datum location. The mechanical design requires no battery or external power source. This tool is a standard instrument in any machine shop or toolroom environment.

The 599-792-1 is suited for use in production machine shops, toolrooms, and job shops wherever consistent edge and center location is required before cutting operations begin. The double-end configuration gives the machinist flexibility to choose the appropriate contact diameter for the workpiece geometry. It is non-magnetic, which prevents interference with magnetic workholding setups. Machinists and CNC operators handling a wide variety of work materials and fixture styles will find the two head sizes especially practical.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision tooling accessory compatible with milling machines and machining centers that accept a standard 0.5-inch shank collet or tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator familiar with standard tool setup procedures. Insert the 0.5-inch shank into a properly sized collet or chuck and tighten to the tool holder manufacturer's specifications. Power down or pause the spindle before loading or unloading the edge finder. Do not exceed the recommended spindle speed for mechanical edge finders, and handle the contact tip carefully to avoid damage that could affect accuracy.
