Tesa Brown Sharpe 599-792-22 Mechanical Edge Finder

Product Description

The TESA BROWN SHARPE 599-792-22 is a mechanical edge finder designed for precision location of workpiece edges on milling machines, machining centers, and similar CNC or manual setups. The tool uses a 10 mm cylindrical contact head and a 10 mm shank for straightforward installation into standard collets or chucks. When the contact head deflects at the workpiece edge, an audible alert signals the transition point, giving the operator a clear, repeatable reference. Weighing approximately 0.2 pounds, the 599-792-22 is a lightweight, single-end tool suited for everyday edge-finding tasks in production and toolroom environments.

This edge finder is used in machine shops, toolrooms, and maintenance facilities where accurate workpiece setup is required before milling, drilling, or boring operations. It is appropriate for both CNC and manual milling machines equipped with a spindle that accepts a 10 mm shank. The single-end configuration keeps the tool compact and easy to handle during setup. Machinists and CNC operators install this tool as part of standard workpiece datum-setting procedures.

Key Features

• Audible edge alert mechanism provides a clear, repeatable signal at the contact transition point
• 10 mm cylindrical contact head for consistent edge engagement
• 10 mm shank fits standard collets and toolholders without adapters
• Single-end design for compact, straightforward handling
• Mechanical, non-magnetic construction - no battery or power source required
• Lightweight at 0.2 pounds, minimizing spindle load during setup

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style mechanical edge finder for use in milling machines and machining centers that accept a 10 mm shank toolholder or collet.

Installation Notes

A qualified machinist or CNC operator should install this tool into a properly sized collet or chuck before use. Power down or engage the spindle-lock on the machine before inserting or removing the tool. Run the spindle at a low RPM as recommended for edge-finding operations and never exceed the speed rating appropriate for the tool diameter. Follow the machine manufacturer's setup procedures and applicable shop safety protocols when performing workpiece datum-setting.
