Hello

Finally broke down and bought the program. Doing my first open segment piece, stay tuned for results. I’ve been turning about 10 years and like to challenge myself, I believe Pro will help a lot.

Welcome to the forum.
Been using Lloyd's software for years. Really simplies the process of planning a segment bowl. Especially when you want to make changes.

It has been said before on this forum.
WoodTurnerPro gives you full control of each ring.
SegmentPro in its current form is "rules" based and limits what you can do to some of the rings. It does automate much of the planning process.

Have fun with the software.

I’m pleased with my first open segment attempt. Made a 16 Seg Easy jig on my CNC, used with the stomper, good combination. Estimated the width of the divider strips on the seg easy plate, had to adjust the miter angle to fit. I would like to know the dimensions of the dividers on the standard plates.

Hi Sam:
Welcome to WTP forums.
Nice open segment especially since it is your first.

I would suggest you send Lloyd an email regarding your question on the dimensions of the dividers on the standard plates.
Don't know and don't have a set to measure for you.

Happy turning.
