another one: http://www.woodturnersresource.com/extras/projects/segmentcalc/index.html. But I have a spreadsheet given to me by a club member and that's all I use. Oh, and there's an app for your android phone on Google Play

Are there any "free" calculators out there for making staves?

If you go to the link RUsty originally posted, and then scroll down a little bit - https://www.blocklayer.com/woodturning-segments.aspx - Turned Tapered Stave Calculator Using Segment Dimensions Above as Base - might be what you are after?

Search “stave calculator” on your phone, if android, in the play store. There are a few stave apps. I don’t know about apple.
