• Are you looking for a coupon code to buy my software? You can get one from lots of 3rd party sites but they won't work. My software never goes on sale and has never been discounted. The only coupon codes that are given is when I give a club presentation and I offer a discount to the attendees. Other than that, everyone pays the same price.

    Quick question

    Your question seems to be about the inside diameter of a ring or row. (Every ring is a row but not every row is a ring, to be cleared up momentarily.) The outside diameter of a row is controlled only by the segment edge length (SEL) and the inside diameter relative to the outside diameter is...

    Sled - Wedgie ?

    Second question first. The sides of each fence arm are absolutely, strictly parallel, right? Therefore the angle from one side of either fence to the other side of that same fence is always 0.0000 degrees. Therefore it doesn't make any difference where you measure the angle from one arm to...

    Question about WTP

    Got it. Thank you.

    Question about WTP

    So vertical spacers go between the segments in a ring and thus increases effective SEL and the outside diameter? What happens with an open segment row? My next piece has both.

    Question about WTP

    Having used Segment Pro successfully for several years, I now discover a need for some features of WTP. While most of it is straightforward, I can't find anything that tells me what the 'Vertical Spacers' value is or what I should do with it. Can anybody help me understand?

    That's what I was doing wrong.

    Off Center

    I tried building a stomper and did something wrong. The telescoping pole was too flexible to maintain good concentricity. I too use the Segeasy plate for open segments but I use my 1953 Shopsmith in vertical mode to build my open rings. My drill press wouldn't work because the table could...

    Adding/Deleting rows

    I wanted to change the height of each ring in an open segment vase that had a narrow neck so that every segment was essentially square. Segment Pro doesn't do this, of course, but that's all I knew. I set the ring height at 0.100 which gave me 90 rings! Then I exported the segment data to...

    That works. Thank you.

    Segeasy videos

    When I go to segeasy.com to see Jerry's videos now, they come up blank on both my phone and computer. Does anybody else have that problem? I want to refer some newbies to them but not if they're dead.

    Floating bottom for urn

    To be sure we're talking about the same thing, in my shop, a floating bottom is a solid disk fitted into a rabbet in a ring and is captured with the next ring. I hold it in place with just a dot of glue at each side along the long grain. If I wanted it leakproof to dust, I would make the OD...

    Attaching files in this forum

    I had the same problem but got around it by resizing it to 720 x 678 or something like that. I never did find out what the size limit actually is.

    I don't set segments this way but if the segment included angle is set correctly (30 degrees for a 12 segment ring, for example) both segment edges and its centerline should point to the same place which is the center of the emerging ring. If they don't, your included angle is wrong.

    Looking for an adhesive for ...

    You might try Styrogoo from Hot Wire Foam Factory and available a lot of places. I got it to glue up a segmented piece I made from styrofoam but it seems to work on a lot of materials.

    Beginner Ring Sanding Question

    I had trouble using a drum sander too. In my case, it would cut shallower at the beginning and end of a ring where there was more wood being sanded at one time and deeper in the middle of the ring where there was less wood. It was just the opposite of snipe. Apparently the frame of the sander...
