Often times when doing a woodworking or metal fabricating project I find myself needing to determine the center of a circle. Sometimes finding that point is critical and needs to be precise. This time that wasn't the case, but this method will make finding the center easy. Thanks for watching. I hope you find this tip helpful.

  • You can draw 2 lines of any length across the circle. Find the center of that line and draw a line perpendicular to it (as you did with your framing square). Do this with both lines and where the 2 perpendicular lines intersect is the center. This method you show works also but it just involves more steps and the length of the lines are irrelevant.

  • You don't need to draw any chords. Any two points created a line. Set dividers or compass to about 3/4of the diameter pick any two location along the perimeter of the circle about 180 degrees apart. Draw an arc from each point. Then draw a line where the arcs intersect. Do the same arcs from where the line crosses the perimeter of the circle. Where the lines cross is the center. You have also exactly quartered the circle.
