• 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.

Segment Pro Outer Diameter Math Error?

I finished some rings that I designed in Segment Pro and the diameter didn't match what the Summary report said. I checked everything and when I did the math manually I found that the outer diameter didn't match what SP said. I have attached the spreadsheet I created to analyze the difference, and I used Excel's representation of Pi (not 3.1416). The difference is 2-3% on each row.

What am I missing here?

You will have to ask Lloyd for what numbers he is using for Pi and what formula that used for calculating SEL.
I would suggest you contact him by email.

Most turners I know pad the diameters. If you are wanting a 6 inch ring, you make a 6.125 or 6.25 inch ring. In the design you add width to allow turning down to the desired 6 inch. I have noticed that WTP and SP don't always have the same number. But we are talking such a small number difference.

I'm wondering if SP is calculating the ring with the "tips" cut off to get a true circle, while the excel formula is going tip to tip, or maximum circumference.
