Frequently asked questions
Does this include a verified diamond-drill color catalogue?
No. The starter colors are illustrative. Enter the codes and color references supplied with your own drills; do not assume that a thread color code guarantees a matching drill.
Will the PDF print an actual-size adhesive canvas?
No. It is a numbered reference chart. The size estimate uses your entered pitch, but the PDF grid is laid out for readability rather than adhesive-canvas production.
What changes between round and square drills?
The preview changes shape. Both use a rectangular placement grid; use the correct pitch for your materials to calculate the canvas size.
How are spare quantities calculated?
Each color’s count is multiplied by one plus the spare percentage, then rounded up. The original count remains visible separately.
