You sample a cut punching or veneer strip, new capstan position or new knuckle hanging, or whatever to determine what your new ratio is. Do that by displacement as I showed. Once you have that you use the formula FW = (R*SW)-BW + (WW*KR) You have the R, SW, BW (your target), WW and KR Once you verify the action ratio you can use your spreadsheet to determine all other inputs.

I like the spreadsheet way and not having to sit around trying weights and taking measurements. Maybe I will do the calculations for the BW heavier than I want and then do the veneer. Testing first, of course. Barbara Richmond, RPT near Peoria, Illinois -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
