Due to a recent discussion about barrel staves and bevel changes, I was doing a web search and came across this free downloadable spreadsheet at woodweb:
- Spreadsheet Calculation Program -- for Curves, Angles, Compound Miters and Springback
Looks pretty good and has worksheets for angles, arcs, chords, spiral stair calculations, etc. If you right-click on the answer to the calclation, it will give you the cell reference for the formula, if you want to do it the old fashion way. Its in MS Excel and Works format. For those running linux, it comes up fine for me in OpenOffice.org 2.0.
Hope this helps someone and isn't a repeat post.
