Bolt Circle Layout and Machining with a DRO

This video shows some of the common ways to layout and machine a bolt circle pattern. Several methods are show to calculate a bolt circle. The use of a Digital Readout (DRO) is demonstrated as well.

    Nice video. One comment on the content. I believe the DRO is like most other CNC's in that zero starts at 3 o'clock, not midnight, as on a clock face. Your first hole was -0.375 in the X axis, meaning starting at zero X, zero Y, that move would have been to the right or to the position of 3 o'clock. Thanks for taking the time to make the video as I know it takes a lot of effort. I offer this comment as only constructive, not to tear down your effort.

    I found the download page for the second chart completely elusive. However, I did come across an online calculator that provides data for any number of holes in both imperial and metric. I would really like to get to the specific download page. Would you be kind enough to provide the exact url for the download.

    lol got it figured out just add 1 to the number of holes you want to drill ex 6 holes punch in 7 then you can use 0 as a start angle and use 360 as an end angle and you will finish at the first hole you already drilled and your done. worked for me .

    Great video! I prefer a rotary table though...it is just faster, and easier + if other machining is necessary, like cutting a groove for a seal ring, or captive slots for bolt heads. btw, I have no DRO, or CNC in my shop.

    Your angle setting made sence to me the 0 or 30 degrees and 360 for a complete circle. Now my instructions showing me how to do a bolt hole had me put in 30 degrees for the start angle and 300 for the end with 5 holes. WHERE did the 300 come from? If you know I would appreciate how they came up with it.

    5 жыл бұрын

    Your readout won't find the center for you unless you did your boring on the mill and maintaned the center at xy.0000. Otherwise, you have to find the center of what you're drilling or milling with a center finder or an indicator, moving the x and y. Once you manually find the center, zero out the x and y on your readout. When you're in the bolt circle function the value will be all 0.0000 for the center. That is the point it uses to trig the bolt pattern with the diameter and number of holes you enter.
