So I have no problem laying out a bolt circle in cartesian coordinates according to information in the machinerys handbook. This is more complex, lets see if I can explain:
Some points:
After looking at it for a bit it occurred to me that I can probably make a 4 hole pattern that would work .. but i`d still like to know the best way.
Some points:
- I have a center hole
- I need 4 holes around it
- I need 2 more holes that are the same distance from the center, as they are from one adjacent hole
- So for example my bolt circle is 1" from the dead center & the two additional holes need to be straight across from each other, but also 1" from an adjacent hole.
