Centre Finder Marking Jig - By Hongdui Tools

The Centre Finder Marking Jig by Hongdui Tools allows you to find the 1/2 thickness of any material up to 3" thick, enabling you to create perfectly fitting joints with zero guesswork. It lets you set fences, transfer cutting depths, and achieve precise measurements instantly—without the need for complex math or manual measuring. This simple yet highly effective tool is perfect for woodworkers looking to streamline their workflow and ensure accuracy with every project.

How to Use It:

1. Automatic 1/2" Gauge: The Centre Finder Jig automatically calculates the centre of your material with simple geometry, ensuring quick and accurate results. Once you’ve located the centre, you can lock the measurement in place to set the cutting depth of your saw blade or router bit, or adjust your fences accordingly.
2. Match the Material’s Thickness: Place your material under the full stock place and lower it until it rests on top of the workpiece. This ensures the jig is properly aligned with the material thickness for accurate measurement.
3. Find the 1/2 Point: The bottom of the 1/2 stock place automatically adjusts to exactly half the thickness of your material, making it simple to locate the centre point with no guesswork involved.
4. Transfer the Measurement: Once the measurement is locked in, use the jig to transfer it for various applications, such as setting cutting depths, fence positions, and more.

Applications:

• Set Fences for Re-sawing: Easily set the fence position for re-sawing on your bandsaw, ensuring precise cuts every time with zero guesswork.
• Centre Stock: Quickly find the centre of stock to mount on a lathe for safer and more accurate spindle turning, reducing the risk of errors.
• Set Up Depths: Lock in your measurement and transfer it to your router or table saw to set cutting depths, perfect for tasks like lap joints and precise joinery.
• Centre Router Bits: Accurately find the halfway point of material to set your router bits, ensuring symmetrical cuts for professional results.

The Centre Finder Marking Jig by Hongdui Tools is the ideal tool for achieving precise measurements and accurate setups in a wide variety of woodworking tasks.
