Since I don't have a mill, I've never used an edge finder, but I recently watched a video on their use. I learned something that doesn't make much sense to me.
Ok, let's say I have my edge finder mounted, the video I watched says you bring the work piece to the edge finder, until it turns true them keep moving the work until the edge finder pops out of true again.
Now, I would think that as you move the work into the finder, when it turns true, you're actually making contact. Once you advance until it pops out of true again, you've went past the edge. Again, this isnt from experience, just what I walks thought. I'm obviously wrong, and I can handle being wrong(I'm married) but I always like to know why I'm wrong. Any input?
