Tesa Brown Sharpe 599-795 Mechanical Center Finder Set

Product Description

The TESA BROWN SHARPE 599-795 is a mechanical single-end center finder set designed for locating workpiece centers and edges on milling machines, drill presses, and CNC machining centers. The set includes four attachments covering ball, conical, and disc head contact types, all sharing a 0.25 inch head diameter. A holder and protective case are included. Machinists and toolroom technicians use this set when precise spindle-to-workpiece alignment is required before cutting operations begin. The mechanical design requires no electronics or batteries, keeping the tool reliable in shop environments where coolant and chips are present.

This center finder set is suited for use in machine shops, tool and die environments, and production facilities handling light to medium metalworking operations. The interchangeable attachment system allows a single holder to serve multiple contact geometries, reducing the number of individual tools needed at the machine. The ball attachment works well for edge finding on flat stock, while the conical and disc attachments address different workpiece surface conditions. Licensed machinists and CNC setup technicians are the primary users of this type of tooling.

Key Features

• Single-end mechanical design with no electronic components required
• Three head contact types included: ball, conical, and disc
• 0.25 inch head diameter across all attachments
• Four-piece attachment set with dedicated holder for consistent runout
• Protective case included for storage and transport between setups
• UNSPSC Code 41111600 for procurement classification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard mechanical center finder set for use in milling machine and drill press spindles that accept 0.25 inch shank tooling; verify spindle collet or chuck capacity before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Power down or lock out the spindle before loading any attachment into the holder. Secure the holder firmly in the collet or chuck before use, and confirm there is no excessive runout before beginning the edge-finding procedure. Do not exceed the recommended spindle speed for mechanical wobble-type center finders, and remove the tool from the spindle when it is not in active use.
