Good Idea, after manually using a drill rod and a feeler gage (paper) to
locate the part, I've wondered if the process could be "programmed". I
keep forgetting to re-adjust for the paper and 1/2 the rod! >>
Hugh,

If you can chuck up a 3/8" diameter endmill, you can purchase a Starrett
or EQ edge finder for 15 or 20 dollars. Makes life much easier than drill rod
and paper. (Most used cigarette paper I believe.) Get the one that has the .1
diameter working end and 3/8" body. Its very effective since you can get into
tight places with it.
