Mitutoyo 050101, Edge Finder, 3/8 Dia. Shank, .200 Dia. Tip

This product doesnt seem to be an actual Mitutoyo edge finder, rather it is likely a generic copy. It seems to work but is not as accurate as I had hoped. Its fairly difficult to determine when to stop, and I had been under the misconception that there would be an audible indication as well. If there is an audible indication I cannot hear it over the sound of my milling machine motor (which isnt very loud, to be honest). I will admit that it could be operator error and that I may get better at using it with time.

Its an edge finder. It works smoothly and repeats well. Its Mitutoyo, nuff said!

Seems to be a good quality tool for the money, time will tell. for now I am very happy!!

It looks like a knock off but works. These are kind of simple so not really much to mess up.

Definitely works better than other cheaper brands.

The Mitutoyo name is synonymous with high quality. Product is VERY well made and has a beautifully machined finish. The accuracy of it is dead on the money! There are other brands that are much more costly but arent any more accurate so why pay more!

I got lucky and recived one with a burr. The matting surfaces are rough looking with visible scratches / tool marks. There is a burr that catches preventing the two matting pieces from sliding freely. It still works since it is rotating and the burr free side will eventuality give way when the edge is found, but it may not be the most accurate. Starrett has precission lapped surfaces that are smooth as glass and with a mirror like finish.

Worth the money over the cheap stuff

Works as advertised. It will find the edge of a work-piece within .001-.002 consistently. I recently used it to relocate a hole that needed a deeper counterbore so I used the edger finder to get me in the ball park. After dial indicating the hole the DRO showed the difference to be .001 on the Y axis and .002 on the X. Great tool!

It is a little stiff when trying to find a fixture offset but it started to loosen up after 4 different set ups
