edgefinder then dial , edgefinder finds the center quickly , the dial finds the dead nuts position
We got into a discussion at our shop on which is the fastest way to find the center of a bore. Everything from using a edge finder, to wigglers, to test indicators, to 3D edgefinders, etc..
I have always used an edge finder and some math to figure it out.
Which way do you do it and why?

I've gotten a little lasy over the years. After I launched my best test, I bought a Blake co-ax
Follow lakeside's example but make sure it is a Blake made in the Los Angeles area. I have no connection to them other than being a very satisfied customer.Originally Posted by lakeside
PS: just don't run them at 6000rpm![]()
for all those intersted here a link to Blake co-ax http://www.blakemanufacturing.com/pages/aboutus.html
i would say a quality coaxle would be the way to go , i bought a china jobby and its ok for rough work because it is out by a couple thou , i don t trust it too much
Use to use a B&S best test or a Starrett last word. Borrowed someone's Blake and ordered one last week. Nice smooth, accurate and no more Mirrors.Originally Posted by lakeside

Mike, 6000RPM? The best speed is 6-10 RPM, by hand.![]()
