Specifications

Instructions

• To Find Center: Place the disc into the V. Insert an ultra-fine point marker into the center slot and draw a line. Rotate the disc and draw a second line. Two lines will locate center; three lines increase accuracy.
• To Check Symmetry: Loosen the screws and move the top V-plate as needed. It may be tight at first. Always push both sides together and keep movement aligned with the slots. A table edge can assist if additional leverage is needed.
