PCD / Bolt Hole Circle
Mill Functions
The DP700 calculates positions for a series of equally spaced holes around the circumference
of a circle. The message display prompts the user for various parameters it needs to do the
calculations.
Once the DP700 completes the calculations, the axis displays show the distance to each hole.
The operator works to Zero for each hole location. See example below.

Note: The PCD will be calculated from the 3 0‘clock position, anti-clockwise. Enter the angle
as a negative value if it is given as clockwise from 3 o’clock.
Note: The numbers appear as negative
values because the operator works to
zero.
