Basic Machinist Geometry Custom Search Watch this cool little video about Basic Machinist Geometry and then see some easy formulas below to help you calculate parts of a circle. Let’s say you need to bend a rod into a 6 inch circle. The first thing you need to know is what length should the rod be cut. Here is how you calculate this. You multiply the diameter of 6 in. by pi. (pi is 3.141)6 X 3.141 = 18.846. Now go saw your rod to 18.846 and it will roll into a 6 in. circle What if you only have a 17 in. rod and you need to know what size circle this will make.You simply divide 17in. by pi (3.141)17 divided by 3.141 = 5.412 So now you know your 17 in. rod will roll into a 5.412 circle. I hope this has helped you some with understanding circumferences and circles. Please Bookmark this site. I add to it often.
