An uncommon Edge-Finding technique…

[Neil LickfoldParticipant @neillickfold44316]

I have never needed the chair style edge finding device. Always found otherways of picking up an edge. I did make a cylinder that was 40mm in diameter, and 20mm to centre off a 90deg edge. Very useful for picking the edge of an inclined block that needs a detail in place.

Use of the toolmaker's chair allows one to locate on an edge much more precisely than by use of an edge finder. I have the chair but rarely use it, preferring the ease of use of the conventional edge finder.

I use a finger dial indicator and a piece of plate. It is as accurate as the indicator and user are.
