Value Collection Edge Finder Electronic 0.4 in Head Ball Contact

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION Edge Finder is an electronic, single-end edge finder designed for precision workpiece location on milling machines and machining centers. It features a ball contact tip and delivers an accuracy of 0.0002 inches (0.01 mm), making it well suited for close-tolerance setups. The 0.4 inch head diameter and 0.75 inch shank diameter are standard dimensions compatible with common collet and toolholder setups. This tool is used by machinists and CNC operators to precisely locate part edges and reference surfaces before running a program or performing manual milling operations.

This edge finder is intended for use in manual milling and CNC machining environments where repeatable, accurate edge detection is required. The electronic design provides a clear signal when the contact tip engages the workpiece edge, eliminating the guesswork associated with mechanical wobble-style finders. It is a standard shop tool for production floors, job shops, and toolrooms working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Sold individually, it is a direct fit for operators who need a reliable spindle-mounted edge detection tool.

Key Features

• Electronic operation with ball contact tip for precise edge detection
• Accuracy of 0.0002 inches (0.01 mm) for close-tolerance setups
• 0.4 inch head diameter for compact clearance in tight fixturing
• 0.75 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and toolholders
• Single-end design for straightforward spindle mounting
• Non-magnetic construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard shop tool for milling machines and machining centers accepting a 0.75 inch shank diameter toolholder or collet.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists and CNC setup operators. Mount the shank into a 0.75 inch collet or toolholder and tighten to the machine manufacturer's recommended clamping specification. Power down or place the machine in a safe setup mode before mounting or removing the tool. Follow your facility's lockout/tagout procedures and handle the contact tip carefully to avoid damage to the precision ball contact surface.
