I tried to get something that does what this product claimed to do from another specialty store. It sucked. This is the tool that measures and marks blanks simply and accurately.

The center finder is very nice. Having it on a key ring is awesome. Just hang it on a little hook or nail in your work area and you'll be able to find it as needed. Its also very handy to take with you if you're looking at rough stock for pen turning.

I'm going to order a few more. I like it a lot. I do wish that the sides were a little deeper. With deeper sides, I could hold the blank in one hand, hold the center finder on the blank with my thumb, and make my mark. I tried that method, and it is too easy to have the center finder jump off the blank as you mark. So I put it in a vise and hold it down with two fingers. It gives me the center, and it is much smaller than my other center finders.I don't have a use for the key ring feature. It just gets in the way, If I ever decide to carry my punches, bits, mallet, and drill press around with me, then I'll regret removing the key chain. Until then, it happily hangs from my peg board without the key chain.BTW, it is best to mark the center from all four corners.
