Thread: Centre-finding gauge or rule

Like the Woodfast Centring rule?

When I needed them I knocked one up pretty quickly. A piece of timber with a nail at either end and a hole drilled exactly in the center. Not as pretty as the ones you can buy but quicker and a lot cheaper.

I have one of these from McJing.
Very handy tool.

Bought from a drafting shop many years ago - from memory only about $12.

TOLEDO, No 300SP, stainless, hardened, metric, made in Japan, ordinary ruler on one side, zeroed to 300mm, top of ruler in mm and bottom graduations in 0.5mm.

Flip ruler over and the zero point is in the middle of the ruler graduating out left and right of the zero point to 150mm - same mm graduations on the top part and 0.5mm graduations on the bottom.

To find a centre, simply place on the board and when you have the same measurement e.g. 35mm on the left and right then the zero is the centre on the board which is total width of 70mm.

Takes a lot longer to write up as I don't have camera at the moment.

Did a quick Google and came up with this
