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

I bought this edge finder for use in my home/hobby shop and am very happy with it. Ive used it in a collet in a Bridgeport-style knee mill and found it to run true with a very crisp break when touching an edge. Having a smaller 3/8 shank will allow me to use it in the CNC router table as well. One thing I would note, with its small diamerter, the end doesnt kick out quite as far as a 1/2 shank tool, so if vision is a problem, a 1/2 shank might be the way to go.

Part was delivered in a timely manner, and it is all you could ask for in an edge finder. Its a Mitutoyo, and it keeps with the Mitutoyo standard of quality. The spring action is strong. Theres no questioning did it jump or didnt it? like sometimes happens with lesser quality edge finders. Good quality part, good price, good shipping time. Cant ask for more than that.

Does what it says

Perfect grind, absolute mechanical perfection. Instantly, repeatably, and very visibly gets you within a couple tenths (0,005mm) every time.

I gave it a 4 star for accuracy because I have not used it yet, but I looks as it should.

Great value for my dollar. Bought two one for me the other for my coworker. Use it everyday at work really accurate.

Works as advertised! I checked the diameter with micrometers and it was spot on! Edge finding is certainly not the fastest method of parts locating, but it’s occasionally necessary, and this one worked great. Can’t go wrong with mitutoyo

Edge finder works But i would gladly pay the extra $12 and get a starett! Dont get me wrong mitutoyo rocks for almost all measuring tools but for conventional edge finders Starett is literally the only one i will touch. Starett has .0002 repeatedly that is amazing for a edge finder this here mitutoyo hardly gets .0008 which may be good for some but if you are gonna start your setup off already everything else you do will be off by at least that much! It is such a small price to pay for accuracy! I have a $400 Haimer 3d taster and 5 interapids and i still need a conventional edge finder and that is a starett. $25 well spent!!

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

Works good and excellent price.
