    Where to buy from 1/2" shank or ER25 led sound probe? With ball at the point,steel ball and body, and that does not cost arm and leg?

    i see a lot of cheap ones but 20mm shank. Any idea some one? i searched a lot but could not find something under 100. At the same time the 20mm ones are darn cheap

    Smallest I have seen was a 16mm on aliexpress, doesn't er25 go to a 15/16mm collet seen a few sets that included 16mm. I think ER20 1-13 and ER25 1-16mm

    I have 2 of the 20mm shank ones. Not worth the effort... they are hardly any better than a trusty edgefinder. My issue with them is that they are so long that they run out all the time. The only way they make sense is if you have ISO40 ISO50 size taper tooling and you get then set up correctly.

    The only other one I have seen was an american made one with an LED inside it. 10-12mm shank exactly like the link to Teng above

    I have seen that one, the american, with the ball, but is expensive.

    I was wondering the same thing though, if a Starrett edge finder would be better and more reliable. But as i said, on the CNC i have the MachStdMill screen set which is much better than any edge finder
