Google and Dejanews comments suggest that they may not be the best for edge
finding (most comments prior to integral polarizing attachments) which I can
intuitively understand, but I feel that they should be the thing for center
finding.

I am using one of these:

I have no problem finding the edges with it but I am not ecstatic about its
ability to find centres.



have you ever seen a laser with a point?

you can sharpen a scribe, you can sharpen a centre punch but I'd defy
you to sharpen a laser.

they're only good for woodwork.
