ABOUT THIS TOOL
How Bolt Circle Coordinate Generator fits into the workflow.
Generate a complete bolt-circle coordinate list from pitch diameter, hole count, starting angle, and direction. The result is intended as a setup and programming reference.
Where This Output Fits
Use the coordinates for drilling patterns, inspection points, fixture layouts, and CNC programming references.
What to Check Before Using It
Using the wrong center datum, confusing diameter with radius, or applying the coordinates without checking work offsets and machine orientation.
ENGINEERING METHOD
How Bolt Circle Coordinate Generator generates its output.
METHODX = center X + radius × cos(angle). Y = center Y + radius × sin(angle).
