Here's a handy, budget-friendly $12.00 tool to add to your tool chest. Saw it last month and had to purchase..   

Center Finder reading at .005" from top dead center..


Top dead center looks like this..
.

Switch out the Center Finder with a drill chuck, using a center drill spot the hole before drilling. It's withing .001" of true center. Far less work than other ways to locate the center.

I have one of those, made by PEC out of Los Angeles. It is very nice, except working on sub half inch stock.

I have been eye balling those for some time and am familiar with the PEC brand myself.

Note to self, gotta get one of those! Thanks for the reminder fellas, be a very handy little inexpensive addition!
Better hold onto something boys cause i'm fixin ta stand on it!
