Hi.

I need to know how to get a circle with the 'EXACT' circumference of 80 cm

I have no idea how to start this ????

Divide 80 by 3.14 = diameter divided by 2 = radius.

circumference 80 ÷ 3.14 (pi) = diameter roughly 25.47

But if you mean really "EXACTLY", start calculating, because:
pi = 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375 10. . . :)

What are you making.

If it is thick metal, especially, you are rolling you also have to add one thickness of material to the actual diameter you are calculating for.

Up to really large diameters where the metal does not compress as much as it stretches.

That should have ruined your day. Ha-ha.

do you need the circumference to be the ID or the OD? that will play a part in everything.
