    Default Spoked Wheel Templates

    I've just updated the wheel template generator tool on blocklayer.com

    Printable Hub, Spoke and Spindle Templates - Metric

    Now you can just drag the sliders to adjust diameters, spoke number etc and the template images will animate, so you can get the look of the wheel just right.
    It will produce full scale templates to print, cut and wrap around hub or rim to mark spoke centres for drilling.
    Please let me know if it needs any other calculations or additions (or fixing)

    Thanks for this Blocklayer, I hope you don't mind, but I copied the link onto the Metalwork forum, as it will be of great assistance with members wanting to do sheet metal cones etc. I did put your name to it, saying thanks to you for it. If you're not happy with this, please let me know, and I'll remove it from there?
    Regards

    Thanks for posting the link to the Metalwork forum Kryn.
    If you know of anyone else, or other forums that might benefit from the calculators, please let them know also.

    Also, many of the calculators on blocklayer.com end up being handy for purposes I never initially realized, so if you see a different use for any of them, please let me (and everyone else) know.
    Thanks again for 'spreading the word'

    Yes, all the calculators (and the site itself) are my work.

    But lots of the calculators come as a result of realizing their need, from participating in excellent forums like this ( woodworkforums.com ) and asking advice and guidance from forum members.
