Value Collection WCF/WZ/6/SPL Mechanical Center Finder Set

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WCF/WZ/6/SPL is a single-end mechanical center finder set used to locate the center or edge of a workpiece on a milling machine, lathe, or drill press. The set includes four interchangeable attachments — ball, conical, and disc head types — along with a holder and a storage case. Mechanical center finders operate without electrical input, relying on runout deflection to signal center or edge contact. This makes them a practical choice for machinists and tool-and-die professionals who need a fast, repeatable setup method without batteries or electronics.

This set is suited for use in machine shops, tool rooms, and production environments where workpiece setup accuracy is critical. The variety of head types — ball, conical, and disc — allows the user to adapt to different workpiece geometries and surface conditions. The compact case keeps all four attachments and the holder organized and protected between uses. It is a general-purpose set appropriate for manual and CNC milling setups during part zeroing and datum location.

Key Features

• Single-end design with four interchangeable head attachments: ball, conical, and disc types

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose mechanical center finder set compatible with standard milling machine spindles, lathes, and drill presses that accept common shank-mounted edge and center finders.

Installation Notes

Mechanical center finders are installed by machinists during workpiece setup prior to machining operations. Power down or disable the spindle drive before exchanging attachments or removing the holder from the spindle. Secure the holder firmly in the collet or chuck to the tool holder specification of the machine being used. Follow standard shop safety practices and machine-specific operating procedures when performing edge and center finding operations.
