ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for finding an edge of a workpiece prior to machining the workpiece by a machine tool. The apparatus includes a collar that is mountable to be secured to the head of a machine tool. The collar has four flat surfaces spaced in quadrature on the outside surface thereof and an adjustable reference member extending outwardly therefrom for initial calibration. The apparatus also includes an edge finding assembly that is releasably clamped to the collar at the reference members for edge finding and carrying a dependent contact probe coupled to a dial indicator for indicating the movements of the contact probe, the collar and edge finding assembly being adapted to be fixed in a preselected vertical plane when mounted to the collar secured to the head of a machine tool for finding the true zero X & Y reference edges of a workpiece to be machined.
