Say goodbye to fumbling with rulers and calculators. This Center Finder is one of those 3D printed workshop tools that makes you wonder how you ever worked without it. Just slide the two legs around your wooden sheet or beam, and mark your center point (or draw a center line) using the hole in the middle. It's fast, foolproof, and oddly satisfying.
The design pays homage to a beloved (but discontinued) Woodpeckers original, brought back to life with a 3D printer. Whether you're laying out shelf brackets, drilling pilot holes, or lining up decorative inlays, this little gauge takes the guesswork out of finding the middle.
Because it's printed on demand, you get a tool that's lightweight, durable, and ready to earn its keep in your shop. Toss it in your apron pocket or tool tote, it'll be there the next time you need a perfectly centered mark.

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 We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating.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.
