On the summery page in Woodturner Pro how much is allocated for the saw blade kerf and for the glue? Is there a way of changing the allocation to adjust for the blade i am using to cut my wedges?
Another program i have used allowed me to set the kerf to .10 inches for a thin kerf blade, and also set my glueup to .01 inches.
I think this is a reasonable request. I’ll add it to the new version of SegPro I’m working on. I hope to have it done for SWAT in Waco, TX in late August It is a major effort, though, which has touched almost every line of code so there is a LOT of testing to be done before it can be released. I also have to redo all of the video tutorials. If ever a tutorial doesn’t match what is in the current release, it ALWAYS leads to support calls.
One thing I can promise is this - you’re going to love the new interface. No more cropping and saving an image when you save a plan because the UI does it all for you. Now you will name all of your plans so printed documents will have names on them. If you want to change the category or the images saved with the Plan, just save it again with changes. It’s far faster and easier. Once it is saved the file will be 90% smaller than it was before saving.
If you are doing 48 segments or more, you might be using an indexing system. If so, the Rings View has no value to you so I’ve come up with a High Count printout that will be a lineal look at your segments. There will be 8 columns and each column has 48 rows so if you’re making a 48-segments-per-ring bowl, each row will consume one column. It will have the segment number, a small rectangle painted with the species, and the first character of the specie name since some species have similar colors. Since it is often easier to build a ring by starting with every 4th segment so that when dried, you can go back and add the missing three segments quickly and take a cumulative error off the table. To help with this, every 4th row number has a red square around it. Every new row is a column break.
I have deliberately packed as much content per page on purpose. High Count vessels might have 15,000 (or much) more and it is necessary to reduce the number of pages required for the report. I think you may want to cut this into strips or at least glue a row and then cut it from the page.
Here is close to what the finished report will look like. I have changed spacing and sizing to allow a bit more space between the columns.
It’s interesting to note that you can look at this page and see the painted design of the bowl.
This will be a free upgrade to all current users of Segment PRO. I do intend to have a tip jar for those who appreciate the effort and would like to see additional free upgrades in the future.
