I'm ready to kick it up a notch. I'm good at the 4-axis diamond wrap. I want to do an 8-axis chevron. I have Dale Clemens Advanced Rod Building book which describes this wrap pretty well. In doing the first 4-axis chevron, do I start on the 0 axis then the 180, 90, 270? Then, do I start the next 4-axis chevron at 45 degrees right or left of the starting axis? Does N.A.S.A. have any opennings?
Thanks guys, Tim Re: Laying out 8-axis Chevron

The initial layout for a 4-axis chevron and 4-axis diamond are the same consisting of four threads (two up and two down) creating crosses at 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees. An 8-axis wrap will evenly fill in the remaining space (asuming you're not trying to use variable spacing for a closed wrap) on the 45, 135, 225, and 315-degree axes. It doesn't really matter where you start laying out these threads as long as they fill in the spaces correctly. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
