Milescraft 8408 Center Finder - Center Scriber and Offset Measuring & Marking Tool for Woodworking

Sold construction. Great little thing to have around for sure. I can’t wait till they figure out how to sneak a sharpener in there but it’s very compact so I couldn’t imagine how they could boy would that be a killer feature.

I'm a big fan of Milescraft. They turn out so many moderately-priced, very useful tools. This no different; simply and perfect for finding the center of a piece of lumber. Would purchase again.

This is basically a good product for a very reasonable price. I like the magnet base that provides a storage option on metal shelf. The one thing I would improve is the "lip" on side to drawn lines in various increments. It is a bit too small, tending to slip off edge of wood. Not a big deal if you are careful. However, it would have cost next to nothing to make the lip a bit larger... easier to slide without slipping

Cool gadget but haven’t found a use for it yet. I’m sure it will come in handy one day.

Well, I finally got around to using this marking tool the other day. I needed to quickly scribe a short piece of 2x4 to bore a couple of holes with a forstner bit. I needed to add two round magnets to the edge of the workpiece for use with a poorly designed TV stand the boss brought in to work for business related training sessions.The center scriber works good if only working with narrow edge materials. I was only able to center scribe the center of my work piece because it was shorter than the width of the tool's two posts. This tool can not center scribe to the ends of narrow edged boards or PVC panels we sometimes use to fabricate enclosures for electronic devices.The pencil was a bit snug when inserting into the tool. I had no problem removing pencil after using the marking tool. It is a good tool for quickly center scribing the narrow edge of your work piece. With some improvements, it could be more awesome.

Sometimes, the simplest, most inexpensive little tool can make the biggest impact. Never had one before, always measured center with a ruler. But this is a quick, fail-safe way to find center on boards. Used it to make a shelving unit, made life so much easier. Decent quality with a magnet on the bottom so it can be put on the site of a toolbox for quick access. Best fed dollars I have ever spent.

WORKED WELL IN MY SHOP, WOULD BUY AGAIN.

Simple idea and works just fine.
