Help with numbers

[Bodkins]

I cant ask all you freedom fighting people for help with my problem.

I have a piece of plexy glass 441mm x 297mm and i need to drill some little hole at equal spaces to each other. the drill bit is 1.5mm(1/16)
I would like to use a compass starting in the middle to do this..
cant you help me?
if you can will you tell me how you did it?

[MythMath]

Could you print out the 'dot matrix' and tape it
underneath the plexi sheet as a drilling guide...?

[Inquorate]

I recommend printing up the dots or drawing them with a ruler and pencil onto paper.

Stick the paper to a board of wood.

Drill the holes in the wood.

Clamp the plexi glass to the wood, and drill again.

I did that while making nine men's morris boards.

I forgot

That way you can use a nail to dent the wood so it drills dead centre.

The plexi glass will make the drill bit wander.

Based upon the center point, building up a series of 120 deg triangles arranged as a hexagon, i think 18.56 mm is your figure. scribe a total of 9 circles.

thanks John do people aggree with this?
just i dont what to lost holes at the edges.
say if you draw a grid up the side and along the bottom= the grid is your starting point so you lose hole....on the edge.

i hope i making myself clear

To complicate things. Can you do it intermittent, like oranges in a box? Holes are closer and more evenly spaced. More oranges fit in the crate than in orderly rows.
