Brown & Sharpe Audible Edge Finder, 1/2" Shank Diameter
Product Description
Brown & Sharpe Audible Edge Finder, 1/2" Shank Diameter
- High-Accuracy Edge Detection: Manufactured to a tolerance of ±0.0001" of nominal size, the edge finder head ensures exact edge-to-workpiece contact. This level of precision allows the machinist to quickly locate the workpiece edge, reducing setup time while significantly improving setup accuracy and alignment reliability
- Precision-Ground for Smooth Operation: The contact surfaces are precision-ground to ensure smooth, consistent movement, promoting stable contact and repeatable edge detection throughout machine setup
- Audible & Visual Edge Indication: This Brown & Sharpe edge finder delivers an audible click and visible deflection upon edge contact. This dual feedback enables the edge finder machinist to locate the exact edge position quickly
- Hardened Steel Construction: Made from high-grade hardened steel, this edge finder is built to withstand demanding workshop environments and frequent use. Its robust construction ensures the tool can endure repeated use without losing accuracy or reliability. The solid build resists wear, corrosion, and damage from physical impact or harsh chemicals commonly found in machining and milling shops
- 1/2" Shank × 0.500" Contact Head: Featuring a 1/2" shank diameter and a 0.500" tip diameter, this edge finder is optimized for precise and efficient edge detection. This size delivers clear, reliable feedback when locating the edge of a workpiece, ensuring accurate alignment during milling, machining, and CNC operations. The uniform tip size allows for consistent, repeatable results across a variety of applications
The Brown & Sharpe 599-792-24 Audible Edge Finder is made from Hardness Rockwell C (HRC) 58-rated steel for increased durability, and is ground for smoothness and case-hardened on the ends for usability. It features a 1/2†shank and 0.500†head diameter, and is available in multiple sizes. Heads are manufactured to within .0001†of stated size. Audible and visual measurement capabilities help increase accuracy.
Audible edge finders release an audible click when the tip jumps, which allows users to hear as well as see the tool, for increased accuracy. The rotating instrument has a machine spindle that must be turning 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.
