• 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

My LamPro Failure

Not sure what I did wrong.

Followed LamPro directions and wound up with a diamond alignment that was perfect on the first two (on left), center two the lower section was shorter than the top, the next one to the right lined up on 3 points, and looks like the last half one started lining up correctly.

Also, to make them lineup as best I could, the vertical seam is slightly to the right, but lined up perfectly at the end of the right side? The only thing I was aware of during the build was that in order to get the the first gen chevrons to line up at the points, the points at the outer edge of the laminate were no longer even. These uneven points is what I put against the fence on my table saw. Not sure if that had something to do with the combinations of problems I ended up with.

Discouraged at this point, as I’ve ruined many hours of lam work with some rather expensive exotic woods.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thx,

This is the video I followed using the SW design to construct diamond. Any other info or suggestions appreciated.
Thx,

When you built your diamond did you use the slide method or the southwest method in LP?

Looking at your top photo (wood standing on edge) it looks like the cut was not uniform.
When I have made diamonds I just glue the two repeating units together to make the patter/segment. I do not glue them all into a long board. That is needed if you are making multiple gen cuts.

When I first got started I used some scrap wood and practiced in making diamonds and getting the hang of the cutting up of the lamination blank.

I will give the one pattern at a time a try. I tend to agree that long cuts on the table saw probably caused most of the problem.
Thx for your advice,
Dan
