Bowl Segment Calculator Calculate the dimensions of wooden segments for turning a segmented bowl. Enter the ring diameter, number of segments, and stock thickness to get the segment length, width, and miter angle for each piece. — free online calculator.

Formula

Segment length = pi * diameter / n; Miter angle = 90 - 180/n
  • Bowl Segment Calculator calculates its result from Ring Diameter (outer), Number of Segments per Ring, Segment Thickness. It uses the formula Segment length = pi * diameter / n; Miter angle = 90 - 180/n. Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
  • The main inputs are Ring Diameter, Number of Segments per Ring, Segment Thickness. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
  • Keep measurements and project assumptions consistent before comparing or combining values.
  • Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.

Example: Bowl Segment

Inputs
  • Ring Diameter: 10 outer
  • Number of Segments per Ring: 12
  • Segment Thickness: 0.75

Using Ring Diameter (outer) = 10, Number of Segments per Ring = 12, Segment Thickness = 0.75, the calculated result is 75.
