Default Making a dowell on Table Saw

If you start with a square stock and make an octgagon and keep going
won't it eventually turn into a round dowel 1-1/4"

Anyone done this? What are the angles?

Thanks.


In theory, it would work. A circle by definition is a series of points
equidistant from the center.

However, it's not very practical. I'd probably stop when I got to an
octagon if I was making a handle or something.
