• 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.

    Returning after 4 year hiatus, need help

    Thank you, I will started re-engaging my brain on this. But intarsia is my main focus and get tons of 'likes' from friends. Here is an example of a typical piece. I have done over 100 projects in the past 4 years.

    Returning after 4 year hiatus, need help

    I started entering the world of segmented turning about 4 years and had some limited success using this software and producing bowls. But then I ventured off into other woodworking paths, mainly Intarsia. But I recently retired and have more time and would like to venture back into this realm...

    Requesting clarification on a setting in LaminationPro

    Thank you that is helpful. I did recently get a jig almost identical to the rockler thin strip jig. I used it for the first time and it seems to work well. But I have another clarification question. What is the relationship between the "first cut width" setting in LaminationPro, the repeating...

    Requesting clarification on a setting in LaminationPro

    Ok so did my measurements the cut the center strip out. I followed your advise and made measurements and marks on the laminate itself as it help reinforce the measurements were correct. But next comes the remaining strips and the last time I did this I remember having issues on the outermost...

    Requesting clarification on a setting in LaminationPro

    It has been almost a year since I last did any segmented turning and using this software. The last two attempts of making a feature ring segmented bowl were a bit disappointing. The accuracy of my cuts and or general assembly resulted in a repeating pattern that was not correct. The effect was...

    First feature ring bowl. Looks nice at first but has many pattern flaws

    The other issue I ran into is more of a general wood species problem. The feature ring is composed of 1)poplar, 2)bloodwood, 3)walnut, 4)cherry But the poplar seems to be stained from the bloodwood or maybe even the walnut. the original laminate strip was clean in the sense of the poplar being...

    First feature ring bowl. Looks nice at first but has many pattern flaws

    I have finally made a bowl with a southwest design feature ring but I am disappointed in the results. At first glance it looks decent but if you actually look at the feature ring the flaws are glaring. The few people I showed it too at first glance thought it was great. My son took one look...

    Issues with cutting small segments on table saw catching blade

    I might also consider not using this sled at all. I have the original low quality miter gauge but also own the MiterSet gauge which allows me to set my factory gauge to a precise angle. This way I have all 3 features, 1)angle, 2)stop block, 3)solid table surface. My first (and only so far)...

    Issues with cutting small segments on table saw catching blade

    I think i know what is happening here but several times when I am cutting small segments on my table saw setup Title: Imgur the piece will catch the sawblade and blast away violently. I assume the problem is that the workpiece is not supported by the table saw base but instead is raised up a...

    Still having issues with cutting consistent thin strips on table saw

    I am not really concerned about the actual dimensions of the board width, it seems to be fine. My question or concern is why is my board always slightly wider than what was calculated by the software. Either my cuts are off or maybe the program is in error. It just would be nice to know what...

    Still having issues with cutting consistent thin strips on table saw

    So on this latest experiment I tried the suggestions of using a carrier board and then planing/sanding the strips to a flat consistent thickness. So far it is looking much better but am only at the stage of gluing up the chevron pattern. However in all the attempts I have made the width of the...

    Still having issues with cutting consistent thin strips on table saw

    Yes I intend on trying this on my next attempt. 3 practice runs have all failed to produce a repeatable pattern I would be willing to use. When I show my friends the pieces their first reaction is 'oh that looks good' but then I have them look again more closely and it is then very obvious...

    Still having issues with cutting consistent thin strips on table saw

    I just learned of a table saw accessory called a 'power feeder'. A cabinet maker friend told me he has them on both his table saw and planers. He said if he feeds work through the saw by hand it ends up not being a consistent cut. But when he uses the power feeder every cut is consistent. I...

    Still having issues with cutting consistent thin strips on table saw

    Thank you for the update. I think I do understand the principles. As far as I can recall my first cut width was 1.00 inches. However since my resulting repeating unit seems to 2.0278 inches then by extension it would seem my first cut width was really 1.013 inches wide instead of 1.00 inches...

    Still having issues with cutting consistent thin strips on table saw

    no sanding. I cut the strips to what I hoped would be a consistent thickness across the entire length and then glue and clamp them. However I have already learned several tricks from this forum and others. The next time I will try overcutting the thickness and then use a carrier board to then...
