I've used both Edge Finders and Wigglers.
What is are they? Examples found at: http://www.starrett.com/metrology/m...isplayMode=grid&itemsPerPage=24&sortBy=wp/asc
I believe that the Edge Finders are more consistently accurate than Wigglers because the Wigglers are subject to how tight I set the nut. But, this opinion is only anecdotal. I wonder if the spring tension on the Edge Finders effects response. Both might also be subject to my visual acuity and reflexes.
Does anyone have an informed opinion on precision edge finding?
Are there good and affordable alternatives to using a Center Scope (pdf attached)?
Does anyone here use a Center Scope regularly?
Additionally, the above methods only address X&Y.
I'm using a piece of paper or shim stock for Z. What options are available for Z?
Personally, I'm particularly interested in old school (pre-DRO).
How do/did the Jig Bore gurus and others find a repeatedly find precision edges?
Thank you,
