Well if memory serves correctly , at the time Toyota entered NASCAR it was the only car assembled in the USA . I think Ford was being assembled in Cananda and GMC in Mexico . Now before you flog me for this post I do not watch NASCAR anymore and have no dog in this hunt .........

Christian its kinda sorta the telephone party line that us old folks used to have , they tell me .

Welcome aboard and for the record I am the only person here with the correct answers ........

Same here . Note to self : Let junkman post for you he always beats me to the punch . or post I should say ............

If you can swing it that Dremel Rotary Tool workstation would be a nice tool to have around . Its basically the same thing I use on one of my setup's . I mount my flex shaft in a press stand . The only problem I see with Jeff's technique is if you found that piece of stock you wanted to use , and did not have the OD .

Perfect Mike . Basically you take a board of your choice and clamp it on the vise table . Then take the desired drill bit chuck it up and drill a hole in the board . Then take the bit out of the chuck and put the shaft side in the hole you just drilled . Then chuck up the rod in the press turn it on and the plastic rod will spin as you move it down on the fixed bit . You may have to hold the bottom of the bit with pliers but I doubt it since its plastic . This will give you a dead center hole in any rod you got . If you need me to take a few pictures just let me know and I will post up here tomorrow .

Mike I was a watchmaker by trade ,retired now I am not sure if the tool would do the task but have a question . Are you trying to find the ( center of the end of the rod ) or ( the center of the side of the rod )? If that tool you showed in the link (and I can not tell from the picture) has a bevel at the base then you could get off center depending on how much depth you need. With all that said If you have a drill press of any type I can tell you how to find the center of the end very easy . This may not help one bit but give a old man a few brownie points for trying !

LOL im cracking up Skip that is a good one . I'm bored cant really do anything today and you get the prize of the day !! Anybody that does not chuckle at that one , I don't even want to be around loved it ...........

Mike I am a Louisiana Cajun did you take a picture of my yard ornament ? If Don Yost ever comes down this way I will tell him to refer to this picture as (my place) !
