The short point protrudes a mere 3mm beyond the ring and allows an accurate impression of the ring to be made on the end of the timber. Having made the impression, the point can be removed from the centre and the work relocated on the ring impression, allowing an accurate hole to be bored.
When boring right through, the timber is drilled from one end then reversed, a counterbore drive is used to hold the timber in the headstock and the boring process repeated from the tailstock end.
Fitting the long point gives good access for all sorts of miniature work, including light pulls and lace bobbins.
Centre bored at 8mm(5/16") diameter
Chip ejection for faster long hole boring
Two removable centre points (short and long) located on tapers
Extremely efficient versatile centre
