Staircase Mojo (metric)
A calculator for the spacings of stair or railing spindles between newel posts.
A convenient and very easy to use calculator to obtain the spindle or baluster spacings between newel posts. The stair angle is obtained automatically. Place your mobile device along the incline of the stairs and register the displayed degrees by conveniently tapping the arrow button provided. This will transfer the value to the angle entry box, so no more awkward elevation measurements and spirit levels.Measure the diagonal distance between the newel posts along the slope of the stairs and not the horizontal distance. When you have completed filling in the 4 entry boxes then tap on the "Calculate" button to show the results with a list of spindle positions and spacing widths adjusted for the slope. You may need to tweak the regulation maximum spacing, defaulting at 98mm, to take into account turned spindles (balusters) with tapering profiles. It should be noted that the underlying algorithm works out best fit within a millimeter or so. Under certain circumstances you are invited to adjust the maximum regulation width slightly and recalculate to perhaps reduce by one the number of spindles. Bear in mind that the legal maximum is 100mm in the UK. or usually 4 inches in the USA .security enhancements

Used for the first time today and was left with a 40mm gap at the end so had to redo calculations myself
I think the app needs an update. Its not giving correct measurements lately.
Work perfectly for me
Best app for joiners!!!! Price is worth it. Its below £1 and safe my £30 straight away. As usual takes for my around 1h to calculate and mark spindles and spacing. Now its takes my 5min and everything perfect!!! What a good buy,why I found this app just now????!!! Thanks! Brilliant!! Buy! Buy! Buy!
Used it several times. Excellent app.
Doesn't work on angled sets.
excellent app fully recommend
Brill app bang on works a treat
It not so accurate as it should be
Very good app and I'll be using it again! Free and easy to use and it's in metric!
