• Having problems with video with Segment PRO on a new PC? You could be experiencing one (or both) of two problems. First, if you have an ultra high-resolution screen, the recommended settings might be higher than 1920 x 1080 with a scale factor of more than 100% and the user interfaces for all software written in c# will NOT be correct. Simply change the resolution and scaling to 1920 x 1080 and scale to 100%. Second, if you have a wonky Bowl View, you have an Intel Iris graphics solution and there are serious problems with it. Solution - go to the Drivers page at Intel's website and install their latest driver for your computer. This will fix it. Link: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download-center/home.html

    Open segment bowl started - Petal

    Really nice! I just finished my open segmented turning, pretty plain looking but i wanted to get the process down before an attempt to do something as beautiful as your turning, I used Titebond "Quick and Thick". It worked great and dries clear. However I will be using pipe cleaners and dental...

    Need Help

    Lloyd, When this Covid madness is over I am hoping you will have some 2 day workshops. I am in Northwest Washington. But would travel if needed. Are you planning to do these again in the future?

    Sorry No. it is a thin kerf table saw blade. 10 inch diameter. Here is a photo of a generation board I messed up by using a 1/16 inch saw kerf blade when Lam Pro thought I was using a 1/8 inch saw kerf blade. See how they are misaligned? The program takes your saw blades kerf size into account...

    When you get Lam Pro be sure to go into options and check for the correct saw kerf for the blade you use. The program default is 1/8 inch I believe. I did not realize that and used a 1/16 inch blade which threw every thing off. See attached

    Thanks, I have that exact jig and use it on my bandsaw as well. However it does not help with a generation board because if you need to split one down the middle you need to have the jagged edge of the board against a rip fence. Using the MJ Splitter with their gripper pads (push block) gives me...

    The splitter is used when making rip cuts not crosscuts. I bought it so I could could thin strips from a "Generation Board" created in Lamination Pro to make feature rings. If you want to make a Southwest design from a feature ring generation board you will need to rip 1/8th inch strips from...

    Thank you for your input. I use and like the Gripper as well. I have a Shopsmith but the plate for the saw blade that accepts the riving knife has too much of a gap to safely cut 1/8 th inch strips. I wish they made a zero clearance plate with a notch in the back to accept the factory riving...

    Appreciate it. I ordered the necessary parts to build the Seg-Easy sled for cutting segments. The MJ Splitter will be to cut strips from generation boards or to cut the generation board down the middle. I also will use my 2 grippers to protect my fingers and full face mask just in case. I once...

    Thanks for the reply. I am using the gripper as well. I am a retired Safety Instructor for the Heavy Equipment Industry and am all about finding and using the safest methods available to get the job done. I want to get into open segment turning and although I love my Kapex sliding miter saw I...

    I just bought an MJ Splitter Pro and am wondering if I should set it up for the “Kerf Keeper” or the more conventional set up. Any thoughts are appreciated.
