Edge finder

rcavalieri said:

quick question in our shop I found a old school manual edge finder with a flat ground on it on the dia. that you touch off with when I asked who did this we have a spit decision half say it is for hearing it when touching off and the other half say never heard of that, Is this something new ? has anyone else done this or is this something someone came up with that is crazy ?

Thanks in advance for helping break the tie. RC

It's an audible edge finder. I've never bothered using it myself since I trust my eyes more than my ears especially with noisy machinery all around.
