Value Collection 805-3010 Electronic Edge Finder

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 805-3010 is an electronic edge finder designed for precision workpiece location on milling machines, machining centers, and similar CNC or manual machine tools. With a 0.4-inch head diameter and a 0.5-inch shank diameter, this tool seats securely in standard collets or tool holders. It uses a ball contact tip and electronic sensing to deliver a repeatability of 0.0006 inches, giving machinists a reliable reference point for edge, center, and datum location without the guesswork of mechanical spindle-wobble methods. At 0.03 pounds, it adds negligible weight to the spindle.

This edge finder suits production and job-shop environments where fast, accurate workpiece setup is essential. It is appropriate for use on knee mills, bed mills, and CNC machining centers running ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The single-end configuration keeps setup straightforward, and the electronic actuation method provides a clear signal when the tool contacts the workpiece edge, reducing operator interpretation error compared to wobble-style mechanical edge finders.

Key Features

• Electronic sensing for clear, repeatable edge detection at 0.0006-inch accuracy
• Ball contact tip for consistent point contact on workpiece edges and bores
• 0.4-inch head diameter with 0.5-inch shank for standard collet compatibility
• Single-end design simplifies tool loading and orientation
• 3.875-inch overall length suits typical spindle-to-table clearances
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds — no added spindle load

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-fitment electronic edge finder for use in 0.5-inch collets or tool holders on milling machines and machining centers that accept 0.5-inch shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Power down or engage the spindle-lock before inserting or removing the tool from the collet. Secure the shank fully in the collet and torque the drawbar or collet nut per the machine manufacturer's specification before use. Do not exceed the tool's rated contact force during edge-finding operations, and follow the electronic unit's indicator signal — typically a light or audible tone — to confirm edge contact before zeroing the machine axis.
