Aric,
I have a 10 inch disk of G-11 on a 1/2 inch arbor.
All bets are off if you didn't lay out all the holes B4 cutting the disc.
I first drill a very small (1/16) hole for the leg of the dividers. I make 
all the layout
and do all the geometry from that point before I cut the disc. That small 
hole 
becomes the center which fits directly over the 1/2 inch shaft arbor. I cut 
the circle on a band saw and faced-off the disc on a lathe.

Cheers,
