What it does
- Holds your pencil steady so you mark center lines perfectly every time
- Guides the pen across your wood in a straight path, saving you time on layout work
- Small and light, so you keep it in your toolbox and grab it when you need it
- Works on boards of different widths, making your jig useful for many projects
Stop guessing where the center of your board sits. This center finder jig holds your pencil or pen in the right spot so you draw a straight line down the middle every single time. You get accurate marks without measuring twice.
The jig wraps around your wood and keeps your pencil locked in place. As you slide it along the edge, the pen stays centered. Your layout work gets faster and cleaner. No more crooked lines or second-guessing your measurements when you're ready to drill or rout.

What it is made of

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
