Edge finder
#13
An ordinary 1/2" dowel pin works remarkably well as an edge finder. They never run perfectly true so if you look at the gap it will sort of flash as you approach an edge. When it stops "flashing" you are .250" from the edge. The only caveat is that you need good light (and eyesight) to use one.
