The Laser Center/Edge Finder™ is a 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.

This Laser Center/Edge Finder projects a series of concentric rings, making it easy to center over an existing hole. See the pattern on the Chris' Tips tab.

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.

Emma ★★★★★

Swapping out the old edge finder for this laser version cut my setup time in half on the first try. The concentric circles project a clear, dead-on reference right onto the workpiece. It’s just far more intuitive than guessing with a mechanical wiggler.

William ★★★★★

I was skeptical about laser alignment on the mill, but this thing is dead simple. The concentric circles projection makes centering over a hole or edge take seconds instead of fiddling with a wiggler. The 3/8" shank fits my collets perfectly and it's held up through a week of heavy use.

Richard N. ★★★★★

Switching from a mechanical edge finder to this laser model cut my setup time in half; the concentric circles make alignment effortless even in low light. No more guessing if I’ve touched off properly.
