Printable Concentic Circles Anyone?

Hi All.

I am going to attempt to microflex a mirror in an old 4.5" Tasco, as described in S&T 11/03 issue. I need to find the center to attach the screw which will be used to pull & deform (reform) the mirror. I've spent about 45 minutes on line and cannot find a decent printable picture of concentric circles. Anyone have any links?

Thanks.

Gregg

You might draw a cross on a piece of square grid paper. If you number the grids out from the center of the cross, you can use it to find the center of the mirror.

There are only 10 kinds of people who understand binary - those that do and those that don't

Take the mirror set it on a piece of paper and draw a line around it. Now take that and cut out the circle, Fold the cirle in half and then in half again. Cut a small piece off the small end of the pie shape. When opened it is a hole in the center of the cirlce.
