Turn said disk on the lathe, and bore a concentric but much smaller hole in the 
center.  Then you can indicate to either the hole or a dowel inserted in the 
hole.

There would be at least two, maybe four, other holes, non-critical, for bolting 
the disk down to the table.  Bolt it down loosely  with the table empty, 
indicate  such that spindle points thru the center of the vertical dowel, 
tighten bolts and check again.  Then set the part over the disk, indicate base 
perpendicular to spindle, and clamp part down.
