    Default Marking out segments on an oval

    Hello. Can anyone advise me on how to divide an oval into equal segments, please.

    Hello No Name. If you mean equal quarters, get a template for drawing ovals from staioners, a graphics shop, or an art shop. Apply the best fit to your existing oval. Draw lines joining N S E & W which are marked on the template, and you will have the centre and equal quarters. A circle template can also be use like this for finding the centre of circles. Let us know if this is what you wanted. Kind regards, Dennis.

    To add to Dennis' post, I'd then use calipers to step off divisions along the edge of the oval between the cardinal marks.
