Choosing an edge finder

Edge Finder FAQs
What does an edge finder do?
It is a tool held in the milling machine spindle that you bring up to the edge of a workpiece. The tip shifts when it touches the edge, so you can set the position of the edge as a datum.
What is a wiggler?
A wiggler is a centre-finding tool with a flexible or offset tip, used to find the centre of a mark or hole by watching the tip run true as the spindle turns.
Which shank size do I need?
It depends on the collet or chuck on your machine. The listings show 1/2 inch and 12mm shanks.
