The Starrett 827A Edge Finder is built to help machinists and technicians locate work surfaces quickly and with confidence. Its compact 3-inch body, precise 0.200 inch contact, and 0.375 inch shank combine for a balanced, responsive tool that shines when you’re setting up reference points on flats, straight edges, shoulders, grooves, or round work such as centers and dowels.

Why this edge finder matters: a sharp, repeatable locating cue can reduce setup time and improve consistency across jobs. The single-ended design keeps the focus where you need it, while the choice of materials and finishes supports dependable performance in work environments that demand precision and durability.
