Audible Edge Finder (any good)

[Holescreek]

Google Fisher machine products for edge finders. They're made in the USA. We used to be able to purchase directly from them and got super deals, looks like now they only sell through vendors.

How would that work, wouldn't you be off by the amount of the flat?

The reason I want audible is I find that my Chinese unit is not sensitive enough, it barely moves, then it will move.
If the audible is not the way to go, I think I just may go to Starrett or B&S regulars. The Starrett gets good reviews as far as sensitivity.

The flat merely causes the edge finder to trip more easily and quickly.

I avoid all sorts of "gadgets" in my shop, especially electronic ones, which eventually (or quickly) die and become worthless. Quality basic tools, used properly, stay reliable and accurate on and on and on.

I was not referring to electronic ones. The mechanical type

Just found out that is exactly what B&S does to their audible.. so it is a click click click.. And all the better if it makes it more sensitive.
I'll chuck mine up in the lathe and run the tool post grinder across to make a nice flat.. Thanks for the info. I can't lose on the one I have..
