I've got one of the lazer finders from Little Machine shop. It has a very fine focus lens. If you
make the dot almost invisible then split the beam with about half on the work, it will get you
within a gnats ass of the edge.

There's been a role reversal at my place...

Whenever "The Kid" is home, I watch him machine to learn. he edge found a
part (in 15 seconds!) by flicking the edgefinder to make it wobble and then
turning the crank till it was on center.

I've always cranked till the finder "kicks" to one side. I don't have his
accurate eye sight and feel to do it that way. My results weren't as
repeatable ( I tried after he left) so I'm back to the "kick"
