Draft Circle

The imaginary circle around the eye of a MILLSTONE from which the FURROWS run tangentially. The draft circle is defined by the stone dresser before DRESSING, and determines the length of the furrows, which in turn affects the speed and quality of milling (along with TENTERING). Wooden templates can be used to mark the draft circle.
