$121.49 $195.95 In stock

The Laser Center/Edge Finder™ is a new tool for your mill that saves setup time. It eliminates the frustrations and doubts of using the century-old indirect method with a conventional edge finder or wiggler.

The Laser Center/Edge Finder projects a fine laser beam that directly indicates the edge of the workpiece. Move the beam to the edge of the work and set your dial to zero. It is that easy. No more calculating half the diameter of the edge finder.

You can also use the Laser Center/Edge Finder to locate scribed or center-punched locations. Simply move the laser beam to the location on the workpiece and the spindle is aligned.

The Laser Center/Edge Finder is easy to align so you can be sure it is always accurate.

The batteries last for over 3 hours of continuous operation. That's 6 months to a year of normal use.

Stella W. ★★★★★

Setup was a breeze — just bolted it on and the laser was already aligned close enough to use right away. It’s cut my zero-finding time in half compared to the old edge-finder method. Great for quick setups in a busy shop.

Brian W. ★★★★★

Setting up tool offsets used to take me forever, but this laser guide let me zero in on the center mark in under a minute. The 1/2" shank feels solid in the router collet, and the projected lines are crisp enough to see clearly even under bright shop lights.

Samuel A. ★★★★☆

The laser projection is dead-on for centering over holes, which shaved a good chunk of time off my setup. Only gripe is the beam can be a bit faint in bright shop lighting, but it does the job.
