| Edge Finders by Fisher Machine Products
Testimonial:
"A while ago a customer alerted me to a new product offering by Fisher Machine Products. They have been manufacturing tools in the USA for a long time, of high quality and good price. Fisher is now producing 1/4" shank edge finders, which meet the demand of a smaller edge finder for use in the standard Taig collet system. Previously one would either have to make do with a dowel pin and paper shim for finding edges, or make a cumbersome holder from one of the Taig blank arbors. I quickly contacted John Fisher and am happy to say that I am now offering two different edge finders with 1/4" shanks.
The edge finders Fisher makes are of high quality, so I have decided to introduce his product line of high quality, Made in the USA, precision tools. I have personally tested all the items I am selling and find them an incredible value for the high precision and utility of design. Last Update: October 27th, 2003."
Model "E" Micro Combo Edge Finder and Center Finder. 3/8" shank x .200 tip with Center finder tip on other end.
The Micro center finder is normally used on a vertical mill or drill press. It's purpose is to line up the spindle center line with a previously established point or scribed lines on the work piece.
In operation the Micro center finder is inserted into the collet or chuck and run at approximately 1000 RPM. The center finders tip is trued up by placing a stick (or equivalent) against the tip until it trues up. This eliminates the run out of the spindle and collet or chuck.
The work piece is now brought under the rotating center finder until its point lines up with your mark. The spindle center line is now directly in line with the desired location. This tool operates the same as a wiggler and as such should never touch the work piece.
How It Works
The edge finder in use.
With the spindle rotating, the table is moves toward the edge finder. When the edge finder tip centers itself against the work, it suddenly pops out of alignment. The spindle centerline is now .100" from the edge of the work
