They're used on milling machines rather than lathes, AFAIK. Though if you have a milling attachment they'd be useful. I was taught to use them to find edges in the milling machine. Here are a number of links for YouTube videos of several kinds of edgefinder, and how they're used:?https://m.youtube.com/results?sp=mAEA&search_query=Usung+an+edge+finder+in+milling
I even misspelled "using" and got several good results.??

I got this by accidentally. It’s called a center finder or non magnetic separating rod. It does split and is held together with a spring in side. Is it related to lathe work and how is it used?? Thank you
