Well I was just about to in answer to snailmans question "are edge finders essential" well maybe not essential but handy. My advanced machining course did not mention edge finders at all and we were milling precision stuff. The standard method at that time was cigarette papers, simply bring a tool or precision ground bar up to the edge with the paper in between and stop when the paper "grabs" then take account of the tool diameter and you have found edge.
