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