Center Jig - Superior Alignment of Rod Stock for Lathe Work
I made a center jig to help align my center drill bit relative to rod stock's outer diameter. The jig slips over the end of rod stock to guide the drill. This is especially important for me since my drill press and its work table tend to flex. Even if I were to mark the center correctly, even if I center punch the center correctly--both of which are suspect--the table, vise, and rod bend away from the drill resulting in an off-center center. The jig seems to help.
The draw back to this type of jig is that I need to make one for every size of stock that I use. This doesn't seem insurmountable given the limited number of rod stock sizes I currently stock. A nice solution for various diameter stock is a bell punch. This would get the center punched dead on, but again my problem is primarily that the drill press flexes. I needed something that would keep the drill bit centered even if the press flexed
