Collin's Segmented Turning Designer
Instructions:
- Adjust the bowl profile by dragging the blue circles around. Double-click on the line to add additional control points. If dragging is slow to respond, turn off the "Redraw while dragging" option, this will allow smoother operation on slower computer hardware.
- Click on a ring cross section red box and use the Ring menu to adjust the thickness and number of segments in that ring.
- Click on individual segments in the ring view and use the Segment menu to adjust their color and individual size. Change the Select Mode option to help select and adjust multiple segments at one time. When a segment size is changed, the size of the remaining segments is automatically adjusted to fill the circle.
- Press the Report button to show a summary page with parameters for each ring. This page can be saved or printed.
