    I use mine all the time, not only in the mill but also in the drill press. That was $5 well spent.

    If you can't make it precise make it adjustable.

    Thank you! I have known about wiggles for over 20 years and of the people that I have asked no one has been able to tell me how they work. Now that i am getting my mill up n going it has been on my to do list to find a video just as you posted here so I can finally learn. Thanks again. Now perhaps I can pass this on to someone else.

    No batteries, fantastic

    They're easy to use. Just start one slowly spinning in a spindle with the nut just tight enough that it doesn't go into helicopter mode and then take an object softer than the wiggler and push on it and you'll see the circles get smaller and smaller until the wiggler only spins in place and you're there. When coming up to the edge of a piece as soon as it skitters away from stationary you're there once again.
