    Center drill centering jig/tool for rods that are too long to fit your lathe hole.

    A simple tool that I made for long rods that need a center hole in the end of the rod. The hole in my lathe is 1/16" too small to fit the rod into. So, to machine and accurate centering hole for the tail stock, I made a bushing to make the hole and eliminate wobble.
