Center It is a tool for drilling pipe and other round objects. Center It is made specifically for use in a drill press. The 7/16" groove with a 118 degree angle lets you bottom drill bit to center v-block. The 5 " long, 4" wide V-block bolts to the drill press table and enables the drilling of round pieces parallel and centered. This allows you to drill any size of pipe and wood dowels.
The grooves on the outer sides eliminate slippage while holding pipes, etc., for sawing on job sites or other applications. To use, simply place Center It on the drill press table, run the bit down (with motor off) to hold the jig centered on the bit, then bolt the jig to press table. No clamping of the tube is necessary since the angled flats of the jig hold it centered. Holes will automatically be centered on the tube with no center-punching necessary. If tubing is too large to drill in a single operation it can simply be turned over.

Each of the 60 square grids is identified using a base two binary numbering system. The six binary number symbols appear on the bottom grid bars along the horizontal axis. Zero is represented by a short pillar and one by a longer pillar.
The second image is an enlarged view of grid square #9 - a long pillar at the extreme right represents decimal 1 and a long pillar fourth from the right represents a decimal 8. Learn More
The LEBSD (Electron Backscatter Diffraction) Specimen Polishing Kit is based on the Model L150 micrometer controlled lapping fixture. Two mounting blocks are included to hold a 1/8" diameter pin SEM mount for plan view preparation of a Tripod Polisher SEM mount for XSEM preparation. The stubs are secured into the block with a set screw prior to loading into the lapping fixture. The kit includes a SampleSaver FIB storage container and two tier locking rack, and pin adapters for holding the L150 mounts. A pre-tilt EBSD specimen stage is included with three height segments. The low profile mount fits most SEM load locks and can be stored in the Sample Saver without removal from the pre-tilt holder.
Special Features
A relatively simple and inexpensive method for mechanically polishing and mounting EBSD specimens on an SEM stub, allowing quick transfer without dismounting a prepared sample.
Pre-Tilt EBSD specimen stage keeps sample at a fixed angle of 70o or the complementary angle of 20o in the chamber.
The process utilizes conventional, easily available, precision abrasives and is compatible with other sample preparation equipment and consumables.
The Model L150 Lapping Fixture can be utilized for other routine parallel and angled polishing processes without modification. Up to 1.25" diameter mounting blocks are available.
A low force Model L150L lapping fixture is available as an option.
Complete process recipes, consumable supplies, and other accessories are available and include hand lapping tray, lapping and polishing machines, hot plate/cooling tray and sample mounting devices. Learn More
