Lately Ive been lazy, and when I need to do something quick on a bridgeport, i just throw my edgefinder in my drill chuck, pick up both sides and split it. I used to think it had to be running true, in a collet.
I know picking up center with one is deadly in a drill chuck, but what about picking up an edge? Do you think it would still be accurate in a drill chuck?
I do. Never tested it though.
