No that is for edge finding, you have to subtract half the diameter of the
disk of course and that will locate the edge right under the spindle axis. I
thought the queston was to locate the spindle over a prick punch mark on the
work. In that case use the pointed insert in the wiggler and get it running
true, then you can move the table so the needle is on or in the punch mark.
You can do this with the spindle not turning, just use the spindle running
to set the needle and you can turn off the spindle if you want to.
