What is Centre finder?

A center finder, also known as a center punch or center locator, is a tool used in machining and woodworking to accurately locate the center of a circular object or hole. It typically features a pointed end that creates a small indentation at the center point, serving as a guide for drilling or machining. This ensures precision and helps prevent the drill bit from wandering off-center during operation. Center finders can come in various designs, including mechanical and electronic versions, to suit different applications.
