Go to Post Seriously! I expect to follow what I understand to be the intent of (allow teams more time to work with their control systems) and just look out for anyone trying to bring in greater than half a robot. Or a kitchen sink. - petek [more]

An edgefinder in a drill chuck on a drill press (which likely isn't trammed as well as a mill would be) is unlikely to do any better than a few thousandths. You'll also need a really smooth x-y table to be able to move the part in small enough increments and react to the edge finder. It may be possible with smooth parts and an edge finder on a mill in a collet in good shape to get accurate to within one thousandth.
