So simple, yet very effective. Why didn't I think of that? Thanks for the tip. Any ideas for larger diameter round stock, such as 1½, 2, 3 inch etc? Its not always easy or practical to whip up a jig using the same diameter stock, and definitely can't do it like the way you've done here.
@@rgsparber1 thanks and where did you buy the metal block you used? Somehow its kinda annoying trying to drill 5mm thick rod for my RC project. Maybe my drill vise sloppy.
Was not aware of that tip..... thank you Rick.

Here is a partial answer: rick.sparber.org/UniversalCenteringTool.pdf that you might find a way to use on those larger diameters.
Nice idea Rick. Thanks for sharing. I'm certain I will use that idea for those quick get it done jobs where high precision is not requured.
Great idea, never have i seen this simple method before
Exactly what I needed thanks!
