Tesa Brown Sharpe 599-792-3 Edge Finder Mechanical

Product Description

The TESA BROWN SHARPE 599-792-3 is a mechanical edge finder designed for use on milling machines, knee mills, and CNC machining centers to precisely locate the edge of a workpiece before cutting operations begin. It features a 0.2-inch cylindrical contact head mounted on a 1/2-inch shank and delivers a repeatability accuracy of 0.0005 inches. When the contact head deflects at the workpiece edge, an audible alert signals the operator, confirming the edge location without requiring power or batteries. Machinists and CNC operators rely on this tool to establish accurate datum points during setup.

This edge finder is suited for general-purpose use in job shops, toolrooms, and production machining environments. It is compatible with any milling machine or machining center that accepts a 1/2-inch shank in its spindle or collet. The single-end cylindrical contact style makes it straightforward to use for standard edge-finding routines on flat stock, fixtures, and vise jaws.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use in any milling machine or machining center spindle that accepts a 1/2-inch shank, making it a standard-fitment edge finder for a wide range of manual and CNC mill setups.

Installation Notes

Edge finders are installed and used by machinists and CNC setup technicians. Power down the spindle and confirm it has come to a complete stop before installing or removing the tool from the collet or tool holder. Tighten the collet to the machine manufacturer's standard specification before use. Run the spindle at a low RPM during the edge-finding routine, and never exceed the tool's rated operating speed.
