It is basically a 90 degree angle with a 45 degree angle. You place the 90 degree angles on the circumference of the piece, draw a line on the 45 degree. Then you move the center finder to a different point on the circumference and repeat the process. Where the two lines you have drawn intersect is the center of the circle. I have also made myself a center finder out of plywood to use on larger bowl blanks. Danny, I use a center finder to find the center of a round or square piece of wood.
