CHUCK UP A PAINT PEN

Insert Marking Pen in Chuck for Dead Center Mark

When I’m balancing a crank and need to add Mallory-metal, I chuck a marker or paint pen into the drill and peck a mark on the counterweight. Once I remove the crank to go to the mill to drill through the side, I have a nice reference for where to center the hole.
