I was looking on the Lee Valley website last night for information on the large saddle square I found in my Christmas stocking. While browsing, I ran across their optical center punch. This gadget looks ingenious and might solve a delimma I've always had - marking the exact center for drilling a hole. I just got a new drill press and I get frustrated with having a device that will drill precisely, yet I cannot seem to get it lined up to start the hole in the right place. Parallax error is rampant when I try to do this.
Does anyone own or use one of these optical center punches? At $29.95, its well worth it if it does the job. Otherwise its a big waste of money.
