mr300s 1,272 Posted May 20, 2009 Does anyone use these. I did a search and was surprised I couldn't find any posts on this. Center Finding Rules A fast and accurate way to find the center of a piece of stock. These Center Finding Rules are specially designed for this task, and the 24" long length is particularly unusual.

codogs 0 Posted May 20, 2009 I use one, but mine is an 18" clear (see-through) plastic ruler. I've had it for years and just bought another one last weekend at Micheal's for $4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

codogs 0 Posted May 20, 2009 Here's a pic of the one I use. The line/numbers going down the middle of the ruler is the center finder. The outside numbers are regular ruler numbers. It's got grids throughout on every 1/8" inch mark. Very handy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
