Edge Finders

John Stevenson:
I bought one of those LED ones that also give an audible warning, not cheap but I though whatever helps.

First time I used it, kept jogging , no beep, no LED and then snap

Turns out machine lights are brighter than the LED and the noise of the bloody great motor and me being clog eared meant that bit wasn't acted upon, so rather a dear lesson.

Now I spin illegal immigrants at 1,000 rpm and listen to the squeal and the blood splatter, sounds horrible but immigrants are cheap and freely available.

John,

I'm glad I didn't have a mouth full of beer when I read your post. It would have been all over the computer.  :ddb:

Feel bad for ya' on the busted probe.  :(

Bernd,

I've tried giving away one of those lighty up ones, one that fits into a morse taper. But when I tell the prospective owner what the problem is, they refuse to take it off my hands.

They work great, but when you come to remove them, on certain machines you lose all register as well. So it defeats the object.

I'm on my second straight shank jobby after doing above. Instructions advise not to spin unlike the wigglers. Superb for clocking vices up as well but really come in to there own with a DRO.
Always found both mine to be accurate complete with the transfer to finished article.

Reckon for the instances where you prefer to spin up or non magnetic as in plastics or wood, cant go wrong.
Also only ever had decent stuff from Arc, 3 scales and full sets of imp and metric MT finger collets for smaller mill which are good and cheap.
