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

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.
IF YOU HAVE BRAIN, SKILL AND ALL THOSE STUFF.. WHY WOULD YOU BOTHER YOURSELF GOING SOMEWHERE TO BUY IT? 😅 WHEN YOU DO 'HACK' IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT BEING CHEAPER OR EASIER.
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.
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.
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.
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 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?
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.
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. 😉
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.

Tão simples, só marcar o centro do cilindro e marcar qualquer lado… pronto… não precisa nada de parafernália… teve mais trabalho pra fazer o transferidor que fazer o furo

Nice jig. People on the comments are always.. lazy people who don't build a single tool so they want hacks to make a lathe using a hand drill , a napkin and 1 paperclip. (not 2... they don't have 2 paperclips and would call that = having a workshop)
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. :)
NAH.. THIS TOOL IS MUCH MORE SIMPLE & PRECISE.

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
THEN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT GEOMETRY

@@frontiervirtcharter if you have the drill hundreds, you sure as hell need to find a better way than that stupid contraption.
This is the comment I was looking for 👌👌👌👌👌😂😂😂😂
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.
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.
Exactly! Even that rectangular piece of plastic could have found center.
That's as close to f'k it is to swearing
Just fucking lower the bit until it just scrapes the top of your work piece. Boom. Youve got center.
It might be close, but it's not certain to be precise.
@@twoalward9166 True, but it seems it would be as precise as locating that pivot point right on the center line.
@@vanamee692 I don't think so. This is also much faster, and can be used for many sizes accurately. The method you described gets far less accurate the smaller the dowel.

Yea, in order to find the center of a pole you first buy a whole workshop. Absolutely commendable solution!
Uh, a drill press and a sander?
"whole workshop"...
A $10 drill block does all this in a split second.
Reinventing the square wheel.
Rube Goldberg would be proud!
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.
Drop bit down into the v-block. Done.

Nice tool, but easier with ruler
Put a bit of carbon paper on the wood. Run a spirit level over the wood, keeping it horizontal. The line defines the vertex.
Nice tool; thanks for sharing it. I think you might mean apex instead of vertex.
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.
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
Tools I'll never make for a job I'll never do.

рукожопости такого уровня не бывает, что бы не найти центр цилиндра
Another overly complicated solution for a simple problem. Bravo.
Just mark a point at its center using a square while the bottom end is parallel to the table.
congrats you invented the compass
Balance metal ruler on drill point. When level, on center.
Use a strip of paper. When the bit drags it,
its on center.
Ugh i could never work with wood all day. Gives me the chills to this day

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......
Or just buy a cheap indicator, or even sweep the round piece back and forth under the drill, lowering it until it hits.
Desde que todos tenham esse recurso de ferramentas, muito bom! Mas se não tiver melhor marcar o centro mesmo e furar pela marca
The same v block that holds the dowel also locates the center.
Look at the engineering the guy did, to make a simple hole centered in a piece of wood.
I like this , great idea
So great
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?
Great Centering Tool Idea! 😊
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......
A very nice job.
You can tell it's going to be unnecessarily complicated when he pulls out the glass.
Surely something more complicated could be invented! Please continue!
This is called the Star Trek method.
So HOW do you center the first hole on the wood?
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. 😉
Bien para el centro horizontal, pero no indica el vertical…
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.

FANTASTIC 👍🏻💯
Seems like a lot of work for drilling one hole. If mass produced, maybe. But there are multiple easier ways in mass production.
OK… And THEN what‽ This video shows 90% of the solution, then stops. #WTF‽
Now you have to remove the jig and put a drill bit in the chuck without knocking the workpiece!😢
Got a mechanics square that has the device to do that.Can also do many other things.😮

Solo usa el centro de la misma base en V qué ya tienes.

All these troubles only for drilling a hole ? Common.
NO.. IT'S FOR PRECISSION.

No es recomendable, para que son los instrumentos de medición, centrar la base y fijar el taladro y luego si colocar el material a taladrar. Sin tanto misterio.
А не проще ли отцентрировать угловой упор, опустив до конца сверло, а потом установить заготовку?
Get a lazer Pointer, put it level now you got a dot wow that would work
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
Not looking for the vertex. Its the tangent you are seeking😂
Waste of time. Lower the drill press bit till the end touches the top…learned in junior high woodshop.
Too simple, the drill block has the centre already, line the drill to the block

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.

А призму выставить по сверлу не проще?
BUT... after finding the center you have to move all that crap, to put your drill bit in the chuck... usless
