Thank you for the demonstration, saw these for sale but could not see how they were used.I will now buy one. You get my thumbs up as this will make my life easier.

Many, many thanks for bringing things to our attention that I am sure most of your viewers did not know existed. Drilling wooden dowels will be so much easier from now.

Thanks for this. Excellent demonstration. My own usefulness just increased. After acquiring this gadget I'm now building my own adjustable bicycle repair stand.

So simple, so inexpensive, but precise - love it, Thanks for the vid!

What a simple but effective tool. In my school days we did the old long old skool way of cutting a piece of bar the same size. Putting it in a lathe, centre drill it then you can use this piece to put over the workpiece and use the little stub as a marker to drill through. Very complicated but great tooling lessons!

Great video, this is a skill I haven't used for many years as I have a milling machine with dro now but this has got me out of a pickle many times before. Thanks for another great video

Hi, What a simple inexpensive bit of kit but highly useful in any workshop; thanks for sharing. As usual a well made informative video. Thank you. Kind regards, Colin.

I've been going crazy trying to find center for drilling round stock.... Didn't know there was a centering tool for that purpose. Thanks for taking the time to explain how it is used. I just ordered one off Amazon :)

A FREE method is take your center drill bit or any super fine point drill bit and put it in your chuck. Then lower it to the round stock but place the thinnest but sturdy shim stock in between the point and the round stock. Adjust and when the shim stock is horizontally level then you've found your center.

how did you make a center of your centering tool! ?

Thank you for the support of translators. I translate your videos into Russian. In Russia you have admirers.

Never seen one of those. Will have a look at the B&Q. Nice vid as usual.

Congrats for your video and explanation, very useful.....you got a new subscribe.

I didn't know how to align the round stock for drill a center. Your video really helped.

Excellent. Learn something new every day.

Thanks for your introduction ! Useful tool !

great piece of kit for the money, great video too, thanks for sharing.

Well done , nice simple device, decent video, good sound, good light , no bullshit

Moc komplikovaný. Přesně najedu sondou, s touto přesností pomocí položeného RADECA. A je to i rychlejší.

thank you for your video tutorial.I would like to ask you how is possible to drill 2 more holes to the pipe which is exactly perpendicular(90 degree) to the previously(which you drilled in the video) center drilled holes

wow, that's an excellent solution !!!. thanks for sharing

thats a great idea instead of a big jigbox i was thinnking of at first :-). i'll give it a try.

Any chance of a video tour of your workshop ? It seemed to have everything and I'm looking for some ideas for my own.

I purchased one last year because I have to drill holes in 7/8 inch wood rails a lot. This finder removes the guess work out of finding the center of a rail or tube.

I have a center finder of that style that I find isn't all that accurate, well compared to a edge finder and a milling machine with a DRO. However, you did say fairly accurate, so not misleading folk! The other thing being that most folk who might have a drill press, may not have a milling machine. If that were the case, then yes, that device would be better than eyeball alone. This is an interesting KZfaq channel, I like original thought and you have demonstrated a fair amount without "re-inventing the wheel" good work, impressive content.

Well there you go - I found one of those in an old toolbox but didn't know what it was for. Thanks

Hi there. I have this accessory for my drilpress and I never used because I am not sure for it's accuracy. Do you have any idea how to test that....??

Cool tool, thanks for the information and video.

Great tips and ideas. Your a top pro. Please continue with more videos. Thanks.

I've been trying to find one of those things for years did you make it?

A pillar drill! (Drill press).I get a kick out of all the different regions, naming tools differently. You can tell where they're from, by what they call certain tools, pretty accurately sometimes.

congratulations, so good!!!

muito boa a maneira de centralizar o furo no centro do tubo, parabéns garoto...

thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.

I subbed cus of your scottish accent, also handy content!😁

Excellent tool..!! i am going to make mine.. thxs

Pillar Drill, interesting name :-) Drill press on this side of the pond.

Do you know if this will work on scaffolding tubing.

Приспособление хорошее и логичное. При условии, если шпиндель сверлильного станка или патрон не "бьёт" по радиалу. (когда сильно изношены подшипники шпинделя или с кулачками патрона что-то не в порядке). Пробовал такую приспособу лет 20 назад на раздолбаном сверлильном - "увёл" отверстие при сверлении. Точнее бы "на глаз" получилось.))) (из личной практики)

Great idea behind that!

فكرة ممتازة ....... شكرا لك

¡Excelente idea! Haga un video en el buscador central

Good tip for drilling. thanx for sharing

I got scared when you were operating the press. Had to put my safety glasses on to continue watching 😁

thank you , i will use this method

very handy tool.. nice vid

Brilliant as always

Ты посоветовал хорошего приспособление,а посоветовал бы тебе снять перчатки при сверлении. Техника безопасности .

That took a long time there is a quicker way with a marker pen and a small bubble level. Clamp to pieces together and make a mark horizontally across the tube or bar stock and use the level to make the center mark. Bubble must be reading level. The level will make a mark through the horizontal line and that's the center every time.

How would you do this outside with standing pipe like a fence post?

Use a flat stick w/ 2 nails spaced 3 or 4 inches apart. Put a hole in the stick precisely in the center between the 2 nails. Put it over the bar and turn it until the nails contact the bar. There's yer dinner. I've made them on the fly on jobs. It's an age old problem that was solved long ago.

Got one works great .

I bought a bell punch n sadly it doesn't go under 12mm ,I work on round stock from 10mm to 8mm n any advice mate ?❤️

Would this work for a benchtop milling machine like a jet 16?

btw: the link? already sold them all...

works, but on both our drill presses we cant move the table up and keep it in line, the way i do it is using the drill you are going to use, pinch your steel rule between the end and the job, if you have it centred the rule will be level

Great idea!

How do you do to make sure all the holes, in line, you need to drill, align?

muy buen video y practica herramienta,si alguien sabe donde se puede conseguir en colombia gracias.

How would you drill an identical hole at the other end ensuring that it is perfectly true to the first hole?

Hi There☺, please can you tell me where i can get this helpfull tool? Greets from Vienna, Christian 🤗

Лайк за субтитры на русском...приспособа классная экономит время для простых работ...👍

Bien trouve merci pour la vidéo

Valeu !!! Vou fazer um !

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Please can you give a bit of explanation of what centre drill bits are? Also, another method of drilling through the centre of round stock that I've seen is to cut a piece off the end of the round stock and drill a hole down the centre then clamp it in a vice at the side of the round stock and use it as a drill guide.

Nice one...but what about larger dia pipes ...like 200 , 250 or 300 NB pipes...pls suggest

HI CAN YOU RECOMMEND A GOOD WEEDKILLER PLEASE ?

Very good!!

From iraq well done

very good job

Useful.....👍👍👍

Хороший инструмент!

Muito bom!

very nice sir

Thanks, i couldn't figure out what this was.

With all respect, I was told during induction on use lathe/drill all those spinning tools that no gloves should be worn. Not to mention eye protection a must

Never use gloves especially cotton while using pillar drill or hand drill too dangerous

i think is useful device enjoy the video.

So that special vice (and instructions how to attach vice) comes with the centering drill piece, yes? ....lol!...um, no...😉

excelente

where can i find it

good for precision work..

Interesting, but I still didn't get the answer to my practical question. I have a three-meter-long brass pipe (diameter 15, wall thickness 3) and I want to drill two parallel holes at both ends of that pipe and one in the center. How can I do that? Parallelly.

SUPER!

what about small diamters? 4mm+?

I wish SO hard that I could do voluntary work just doing Dogs body for someone like you. I haven't yet found my vocation of choice but find all this very interesting. Alas, it sounds as though you are from up north. And I am South East. If you know anyone that could do with any free help, let me know! lol

VERY GOOD FROM JOHNNY U.

Great...

thats fine if your drill chuck isnt sloppy

Not bad. Not bad at all.

Never tidy your workshop, once tidied you will never find anything........

Why didn't you lock (clamp) the vice to the table

clever

Ça fait 1 an que j'ai acheté cet outil, je ne l'ai pas encore utilisé.

😍😍😍🖒🖒🖒🖒

It does not do one important thing, doesn't have any option to place the hole at the exact position lengthwise, in addition to placing it centered in relation to the diameter. But in most cases it's also important. Or at least no option that I can see...

thx

Desculpe, não entendi nada. Até porque eu não falo inglês.

It would be a lot more accurate if the pointer were longer...
