HAIMER Universal 3D Sensor Version Review

Zeroes the spindle much easier than other edge finders. The 3/4 inch shank is also very handy (not metric).

The same goes for checking the other axis of the vise relative to the spindle. Easier/faster setup without having to calculate edge finder values for spindle center Interpretation errors when you…

I think it's SUPER! In practice, it leaves much to be desired. I started calibrating the center but the set screws were too tight to turn. When I called Haimer I was told that they usually come from the factory with an overtightened bolt on the end of the shaft. I took her advice and loosened the bolt and then re-torqued it to her spec.
