Description
A wiggler and center finder set is a tool used in machining and metalworking to precisely locate the center of a workpiece or machine spindle. The wiggler, also known as a center finder, is a small, spring-loaded tool with a pointed tip that wiggles or oscillates when touched against a surface. This oscillation helps identify the exact center point of a hole or edge.
