Simple solution: run the drill press down til it bottoms out in the vee< then put your dowel in and drill.

That does assume the v-block is precise, making it a second order calibration. That block looks far from precision to me. :)

@@fxm5715 That does assume the JIG is precise... If you can make this pendulum JIG precise enough, then you can probably make the V cutout also precise, e.g. by angling a table saw, and it's much easier too.

@@akosyoutub Certainly, a precise v-block would be optimal in this situation, but you may not always even be holding in a v-block, such as when using an indexing head or a collet block, or just stuck in a drill vice. Yes, there are more precise ways to center find, like dialing it in with and edge finder, etc., but this tool is specifically a fast, good enough option for many things. Not for everything, not for high precision, but handy to have in the toolbox.

Can't find the middle but then finds the middle while making a contraption 😂😂

Maybe he has to drill the hole in a hundred of those dowels.. Also it's a lot easier to find the center on a flat surface than a curved one

Just fucking lower the bit until it just scrapes the top of your work piece. Boom. Youve got center.

Overkill. Use the vee block to locate centre. Put the dowel in. Go to town.

Okay, your tip makes sense. Another person trid saying the same thing, but forgot to use proper punctuation. Thank you for clarifying.

What??? That's a whole different project. All you need is to find the tallest part of the wood.

Just balance a 6 inch (15 cm) ruler on top, pull the drill bit down till it's touching, move the dowel back and forth until the ruler is horizontal.

So now You are ready to drill your hole. So you need to remove the center, Finder, and. to do that you need to remove the dowel so you can take it off the drillbit then you don’t have the center anymore

The middle is wherever he drills unaided. Once the hole is drilled, roll the cylinder until the hole is top dead center, and viola, it's the middle.

This is how a simple thing can be made complicated

"whole workshop"...

If you think that's accurate, you're sorely mistaken. There is no guarantee that you have drawn the red line exactly as you should. The smaller a shape is, the less precisely it is possible to connect the desired corners. And here it is quite small. It's a good idea in theory, but it's imprecise in practice.

Si tienes esa base de madera en la que apoyaras el elemento a perforar, allí puedes centrar el taladro; retiras la pieza, bajas el Chuck y centras con el canal, aseguras la mesa, subes el chuck, colocas la pieza y taladras.

Drop bit down into the v-block. Done.

Rube Goldberg would be proud!

You did a great job. Thanks for the video

Nice tool, but easier with ruler

Lots of questionable solutions on the internet but this one actually seems to be very good, because just get it in the exact center and done once it can be reused as many times as you like.

Tools I'll never make for a job I'll never do.

Half an hour later - just balance the first bit of plastic on the tube and bring down the drill. It’s central when the plastic is level

Ugh i could never work with wood all day. Gives me the chills to this day

Wow. So complicated. Put the small piece of plastic on top of the round item. Let the drill bit hold it. Move it back and forth and when level you found the middle. Just saved a ton of time.

Just mark a point at its center using a square while the bottom end is parallel to the table.

So HOW do you center the first hole on the wood?

Fascinating practical application of geometry. I need to find a vertex about twice per lifetime in my wood working, so a gauge like this would really come in handy when I am reincarnated. I do like it and would be satisfied just making the tool, and then would have to find some circle vertex intensive projects. I especially like the red scribed indicator, nut my 8th grade industrial arts shop teacher would have yelled at you for shaping the parts on the belt sander.

The same v block that holds the dowel also locates the center.

congrats you invented the compass

Use a strip of paper. When the bit drags it, its on center.

надеюсь это стеб... рукожопости такого уровня не бывает, что бы не найти центр цилиндра

Great Centering Tool Idea! 😊

I like this , great idea

Or just buy a cheap indicator, or even sweep the round piece back and forth under the drill, lowering it until it hits.

This is called the Star Trek method.

Nice tool; thanks for sharing it. I think you might mean apex instead of vertex.

A very nice job.

Everybody's so creative

Another overly complicated solution for a simple problem. Bravo.

There is no way that this jig that was eyeballed is giving you better results than eyeballing the location of the hole. At least, if the jig itself was 3d printed or something......

So great

Desde que todos tenham esse recurso de ferramentas, muito bom! Mas se não tiver melhor marcar o centro mesmo e furar pela marca

FANTASTIC 👍🏻💯

It's far easier than that. Use a thin piece of metal like a feeler gauge between the bit and the workpiece. Move it beck and forth. Whrn it is horizontal you are over the centre.

or if your vee block is accurate line the drill bit up with the bottom of the Vee then put the stock in......

Look at the engineering the guy did, to make a simple hole centered in a piece of wood.

Surely something more complicated could be invented! Please continue!

Seems like a lot of work for drilling one hole. If mass produced, maybe. But there are multiple easier ways in mass production.

So how did you know where the centre was for the wood you drilled for your first hole in the top of that wood, if you hadn't made that tool yet? Is this a chicken and the egg thing?

Будешь вставлять, вынимать сверло и эту приспособу, все настройки улетят.

Ah yes, let me just fetch the clear perspex and belt sander I have laying around

А не проще ли отцентрировать угловой упор, опустив до конца сверло, а потом установить заготовку?

Got a mechanics square that has the device to do that.Can also do many other things.😮

Bien para el centro horizontal, pero no indica el vertical…

If only I had all day to drill one perfect hole

Now you have to remove the jig and put a drill bit in the chuck without knocking the workpiece!😢

So how exactly are you going to drill the hole now?

Niente è assolutamente perfetto la vera perfezione Consiste nel dare il giusto grado di fallibilità ha un sistema

Too simple, the drill block has the centre already, line the drill to the block

Get a lazer Pointer, put it level now you got a dot wow that would work

Use a compass

You can tell it's going to be unnecessarily complicated when he pulls out the glass.

Not looking for the vertex. Its the tangent you are seeking😂

lol that much easier ways than that to find center on a piece of round stock

Nice! 😊

I think you can make that no one piece you don't need two pieces. Is there a advantage of using two pieces and gluing them together.

you have everything there to find the center already.

Тот момент когда на работе реально делать нечего

Solution to the problem is shown after 5s in the video...

how do you know your tools is calibrated?

Ну всё, я пошёл гриндер покупать.

All that effort is for nothing if you start that hole with that massive drill bit. Start your hole at a reasonably small size for accuracy, and lower the bit into the V block to find the centre.

А призму выставить по сверлу не проще?

С чего вы взяли что ваша самоделка точно изготовлена и не врёт?

Waste of time. Lower the drill press bit till the end touches the top…learned in junior high woodshop.

Amazing

So how you gonna get that contraption off and keep the dowel in place ?

OK… And THEN what‽ This video shows 90% of the solution, then stops. #WTF‽

Facil fazer isso, qualquer um faz em casa mesmo

This is far from the best solution. Cut a V out of a square block. Drill a hole thru in the center of the V. Now flip it around, put your round piece in the V and drill from the opposite side. 😉

try simply ruller method

So, why didn't he use the drill that he just made that jig for?

Or…. You could go to any Home Depot, Harbor Freight, etc. and buy the right tool for five bucks.

Genius
