    Confused Tool Comp Chart

    Hi all,

    From an optiboard years ago.... (maybe in 98 or 99?!?!!?) someone ( was it you Steve?) had a program that figured the compensation for surface tools, (for example) input: tool index of refraction, pad thickness, incement in diopters, (.10, .12, .25 etc) range of tools (laps), and get..... a chart that would tell you that to get a 6.00 base, 7.37 cross tool compensated for a .43 mm pad you need to cut a tool that is "actually" 6.054 base, 7.415 cross for proper compensation. (guessing... don't beat me up here)
    Am I crazy??? If I am, I'm sure one of you optical math junkies knows the formula I could plug into a spreadsheet and make it work.......

    Thanks,

    Chuck
