Guys,

A few months ago someone on this forum posted a link to a site where you could plug in the diameter/angle of tubing and the site would plot a coping pattern for you. The same site could also plot a pattern for producing a "cone" just by plugging in the diameters and length. I had the link saved but lost it somehow and Ive searched this site for the past two hours with no luck. Anyone have a link or know what Im talking about? I tried google and didnt get anywhere either.

TIA if anyone can help.

Here is a coping program that works fairly well...

Here is another program that lets you use a chop saw to make the mitres...

If you find the "coning" program I would like to see it myself...

astroracer,

Thanks for the links...much appreciated. As for the "coning" program/site Ive spent hours googling and searching without any luck. Either Im losing my mind or Im just not searching in the right place but none the less if I find it I'll let ya know.
