If you're using a mill without a DRO it might be easier to "start at the bottom left corner"
0,0 is at BOTTOM LEFT
Hole 1 59.00 29.50
Hole 2 44.25 55.05
Hole 3 14.75 55.05
Hole 4 0.00 29.50
Hole 5 14.75 3.95
Hole 6 44.25 3.95
I think I'd go 4,5,3,2,6,1

Hi welder, the radius of your circle will give you your 6 points to centre punch. For the coordinates, multiply the given dimensions by the PCD required, from the vertical centre line is 0.43301, from the horizontal centre line it is 0.25.
This came from MEW number 205 page 34, it has hole pitch circle diameter information from 3 to 12 holes.
Will try to load the pages onto the library if anyone thinks it may come in handy???

Not my best drawing but hope this helps,

PS when I started to type this there were no other answers, JEES I must type slow.

If you buy yourself a Zeus book it has all the ordinates in the back up to some ridiculously large amount. (get someone to get you one for Christmas)

I thought that is what DRO's were for
Gold, the colour of choice for the discerning person.

Have you just considered marking it out with dividers.
Depending on the accuracy you require you should be able to get it to within a few thou if not spot .
It would be a good learning exercise for you in marking out.
Sin(180/N) X PCD. N= number of holes.
