Hey all, new to the software and segmented turning… so I’m sure it’s operator error here. My ring outside diameters aren’t matching up with what the software says it should be. Ring 6 is shown as an example, I’m over a half an inch short on my diameter.I checked my calipers against the woodpecker ruler pictured. My length and width matches what it should be… any help is appreciated

Measurements

I’m sure it’s on me…. I think I may have changed a measurement in the wrong step along the way to finalizing what I wanted…. Doing a little digging I can see that may affect it?
The best thing to do is set your set your
Bowl settings and Height. Then don't change it.
Also, if you paint a design. do not change the number of segments per ring. That throws off the counter. The software does not know what segment to delete in the design.
I made a quick bowl in SP to somewhat match your vessel and the math came out ok.
I would start over and see what happens in SP.

Here is a discussion on formulas
Processing SegPRO Summary Output for the Shop
I output 2 summaries to Excel. The first is the default summary and the second is with BW grouped. In both cases I check the optimize BW and SEL. I take those 2 Excel files and produce an Excel spreadsheet ready to take into the shop. I also take a screen shot of the bowl and past it onto the...

Sorry I’m late to this party. I’m currently in Israel up near the border of Lebanon at the ancient city of Dan.
The measurements I give are accurate to multiple digits and i guarantee them to be accurate so it MUST be something else. If your micrometer matches the SEL and the diameters are off, the only possible thing that would affect the calculation is that there is an entry in the Spacers field. If you have an entry there, it would cause your diameter to be less than the calculated diameter.
If you have an entry there but are making a painted segment or a tornado bowl, it won’t show you the vertical spacer because you would never make a bowl like that, but it may still affect the diameter. It shouldn’t, but I don’t have the ability right now to check that. On the new release, I will either not show you the Spacers field unless it is a feature ring, or I’ll go ahead and show you the spacer regardless of the type.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond, I wouldn't have
. Especially traveling.
When i did the bowl I played around with all the features, clicking through them, I'm pretty sure I left a entry in the spacers field. This seems to change the SEL, but not the diameters when i played with it.
I really appreciate the software and being available to help here on the forum. I figured it was something I did, lesson learned.

We are all still learning. Software makes it easy to start over. I still play with SP to see what one can do in the program.
One key lesson learned is if painting a design, do not change the number of segments. The software does not know which painted segments to remove or add to the rings. So the counter gets messed up in the summary sheet.
Thanks for posting your questions. It helps us all.
