In article , Errol Groff says...

If using a double ended edgefinder in a collet be VERY careful when
removing it! It is easy for the .500 end to get hung up in the
collett and if you pull it hard the spring inside gets very long.
Don't ask how I know this. I always (now) remove them from the
collett by removing the collett from the spindle and pushing the
edgefinder out with a slender rod.

If using these in an NC machine it pays to remember it's
there in the spindle. At the former night job, they had
several edge finder-shaped divots in the aluminum vise
jaws!

Geez. What were they doing, practicing to get it right? I think I have only
trashed 2 in 33 years.
