I've been playing around with camview and a little 10mm endoscope type
USB camera to see if I could rig such a thing up as an edge finder
permanently mounted my mill's head.
That's OK but you have to get very very close to the workpiece for even
a half decent resolution which doesn't work when there's a collett
holder and tool in the spindle (part of the reason for doing this is to
avoid chucking the edge finder so I don't want a spindle type camera).
I also tried a USB 'microscope' but the depth of field is very small
again you have to get pretty close and twiddle with the focus to get a
useful resolution.
Has anyone found a USB camera with both a high magnification and a
decent depth of field? (I've a feeling that these are mutually
exclusive) or even one that can focus at a high resolution from a
workable (~200mm?) distance?
TIA
