Yup, OK when you've seen it done. Not so obvious if not ..

And when you`ve done it for a while........ You take it for granted, that everyone knows......  ::)

Still drilling holes... Sometimes, in the right place!

Still modifying bits of metal... Occasionally, making an improvement!

The DTI method is the most accurate, but can take a bit of time.  One fairly quick method is to clamp a bull center in the spindle and adjust the table until the center seats evenly in the RT center hole.  This is accurate to a couple of thousands.  Another method is to have a plug in the RT hole with a bored hole in the center.  Chuck a piece of drill rod that matches the hole and center the table so that the rod can enter that hole.
