Do it again but this time use a piece of stock four times bigger diameter. Get a combination square and layout the crossing lines to find center at the intersection. Prick the intersection, punch the intersection, drill the intersection. Now you've laid out and performed a center drill that, if you practice, should be accurate to around 3 to 5 thousandths of an inch. No need for new gizmo, you've mastered the skill. Cheers.
