Centre & Edge Finders

Centre and Edge Finders are integral tools used to identify the edge of a workpiece during setting up machine operations by utilising the X and Y axes. They are also called wigglers and are widely used in various machine spindles. Furthermore, they are precision measurement instruments and can be found in settings where precise measurements are paramount, such as manufacturing and engineering processes. Designers and manufacturers can obtain high-grade, reliable outcomes and minimised errors by using centre and edge finders. Additionally, these tools are indispensable for the exact positioning and alignment of workpieces, guaranteeing precise machining, drilling, and other operations. 

Why Use Centre and Edge Finders?

Centre and edge finders are great tools for machinists, designers, engineers and DIYers to make precise measurements in high-precision applications. These measurement instruments provide exact reference points for identifying the centre of a workpiece or the edge of a material. Tasks like milling, turning, drilling and grinding require these tools for precise measurements. You can improve the precision and efficiency of the task, resulting in a better-quality product and minimised waste. 

Significance of Centre and Edge Finders

Centre and Edge Finders ensure precise positioning of workpieces, minimising errors and improving the quality of finished products. They also streamline the setup process, saving time and increasing productivity. They can be used with metals, plastics, and wood materials.
