センターファインダー、ボール盤

I was skeptical at first, but this center finder saves so much time when I'm drilling into dowels. The pointer lines up precisely with my mark, and the chuck ends up right where I need it.

Line it up once and the drill bit lands exactly where I need it, saving me from drilling crooked pilot holes for chair spindles. The pointer is dead simple to read and the whole thing takes just seconds to set up.

Went from eyeballing every rod to just lining up the pointer and locking the chuck in place—took me maybe 20 seconds on the first try. The tip sits low enough that I can see the mark clearly even on short pieces, which is exactly what I needed.
