    Best and most accurate edge finders?

    Well we have been using the wiggle type for years, I've tried an electronic one but wasn't happy of the accuracy. We work to .0002" / 5 microns.

    I'm looking at the following:

    Enco - Guaranteed Lowest Prices on Machinery, Measuring Tools, Cutting Tools and Shop Supplies (Center scope)

    Haff & Schneider GmbH & Co. OHG, Nesselwang - 3D-Taster - Rotoklick - Vorrichtungsbau - Powerfix - Präzisionsmechanik

    Haimer GmbH - Sensors

    Anyone have experience with these?

    Reason for changing from a wiggler is that we cannot work with the spindle on and door open. H&S has taken over.

    edge finders aren't for .0002 accuracy - test indicators are.
    However Starrett are very good.

    SPI makes a nice electronic edge finder. Of course,the material must be metal.
