Circle Division Table
D
URING MY 40 YEARSas a modelmaker, I have used this circle
division table many times. I know of no faster method to divide
a circle into several equal parts. To use the table, just pick the number
of divisions you want from the “No. of spaces” column. Multiply the
selected “Length of chord” times the diameter of your circle and set
a divider to this reading. Then simply walk the dividers around the
circle, marking each point. If you’re working with small circles, it helps
to have a rule divided in hundredths to set the dividers accurately.
These figures are for a 1-in.-dia. circle. For other sizes, multiply the
length of chord by the diameter of the circle desired.
