I have a drill press, and I need to center a hole in the face of a
cylinder. I would be perfectly happy to one hundredth of an inch
accuracy. An X-Y table attached to the drill press stage would do the
job, but I suspect that for the level of accuracy that I need, there is
a simpler solution--and I just don't know it.

I've tried scribing diameters across the face, and picking where they
intersect--but the results have been less than impressive. Does
someone have a trick for this?
