it's Friday fool and you need this tool
welcome back to the glorious episode of it's Friday fool you need this tool my
name is Kyle Voss and every Friday I bring you a tool a tool that I use here
in this shop or that I have featured on this channel today's tool is a special
tool not really today's tool is
was this thing called just kidding today's tool is a precision instrument
precision fine craftsmanship I don't know I gotta make it sound interesting
because it's a pretty simple tool a good one but a simple one it is the center
square so you ask what the hell is the center square well quite simply it helps
you find the center of any tube or pipe this is a one and a half inch center
square if you were doing like roll bar tubing or building headers or something
like that and you needed to find the exact center of that tube or pipe this
tool will do it just like that doesn't matter the size as long as it is made as
long as the tool is made to fit that size of tube or pipe it will find the
exact center now there are different sizes of this tool this is a one and a
half inch center square as I said these come in different sizes depending on the
type of tubing or pipe that you are trying to maneuver or fabricate or work
there are a lot of reasons why you would need need to find the center of this
tool or pipe say you're working on some kind of like three-inch something
exhaust intercooler piping and you want to bring two into one where the where
the two come into one if you split each one of those in half when they come into
one they will be an exact is that exact pipe will don't each seam you got a
perfect white pipe if you have one of these you can find out exactly where
those need to be cut or for instance I did a video a while back on my cutting
pipe cutting for exhaust header work whatever it is wind pipe cutting the
proper way you want to find the exact center of that to the market on either
side so you have a reference line this will do it for you slide that in there
mark it top and bottom and then just take those lines and transfer them and
you know those two lines are exactly perfectly exactly
perfectly 180 degrees from each other
so there you go another precision instrument that you may not have known
existed may not even have it in your toolbox the center square anyway
as I always do I'll put some links in the description where you can go find
these if you feel like this is something you might could use and whatever it is
that you do go check it out take a look Center square alright guys
