Brown & Sharpe Double End Edge Finder, 1/2" Shank Diameter, 0.200" Tip Diameter, Ideal for Locating Flat & Straight Edges, Centers & Scribed Lines, for CNC Milling Lathe Machining
Brown & Sharpe Double End Edge Finder, 1/2" Shank Diameter, 0.200" Tip Diameter, Ideal for Locating Flat & Straight Edges, Centers & Scribed Lines, for CNC Milling Lathe Machining
The Brown & Sharpe 599-792-5 Edge Finder is made from Hardness Rockwell C (HRC) 58-rated steel for increased durability, and is fully hardened and precision ground. It is double-ended, making both ends equally usable. It features a 1/2” shank and 0.200” head diameter. It can locate round or flat work to within .0005” accuracy, and is rated up to 1,000 RPM. Place in a standard 1/2” diameter collet or chuck to use, and as it rotates and approaches the work edge, the head moves sideways approximately 1/32”. The center of the finder is exactly half the head diameter away from the work.Edge finders are used to accurately locate the edge of rotating work surfaces up to 1,000 RPM. The rotating instrument has a machine spindle that must come into contact with the spinning work surface for the tool to work.Brown & Sharpe was founded in 1833, had a major part in setting industrial standards in the United States, and has given its name to several standards, including a tool spindle taper, a worm threadform, and others. Brown & Sharpe was acquired by Hexagon Metrology in 2001, and has since focused on precision measuring equipment and metrology hand tools. The Brown & Sharpe line of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), optical measuring systems, benchtop measuring machines, and precision hand tools offer consistent, high-quality design, construction, and performance. Brown & Sharpe has manufacturing facilities in North America, Switzerland, and China.
Product Features
- High-Accuracy Edge Detection: Manufactured to within 0.0001" of stated size, the edge finder head provides precise edge contact, allowing the tool to quickly locate workpiece edges for accurate setup and alignment.
- Precision-Ground for Smooth Operation: Contact surfaces are precision-ground for smooth and consistent movement, helping ensure stable contact and repeatable edge detection during machining setup.
- Audible & Visual Edge Indication: This Brown & Sharpe edge finder provides audible click and visible deflection when contacting the workpiece edge, allowing the edge finder machinist to quickly locate the exact edge position.
- Hardened Steel Construction: Made from high-grade hardened steel to reduce wear and corrosion, our edge finder offers long-lasting performance in professional settings.
- 3/8" Shank 0.200" Contact Head: The 3/8" shank fits standard milling machine collets, while the 0.200" head diameter offers a practical size for a wide range of workpiece setups.
