A Dent is a space in the reed. An 8-dent reed has 8 spaces in an inch. Often you can achieve similar or identical spacing with different reeds. These charts will help you find a way to spread the warp close to a specified ends per inch or centimeter.
If you have metric reeds, see the next entry for metric sett charts.
PDF Sett charts are found below. The following example is from the 12 DPI chart. If you were looking to get for a reed to acheive a sett of 28 EPI, for example, you can see that you can alternate putting 2 warp ends in a dent with 3 warp ends in the next.
When you see a 0 on this chart, such as beside the 8 EPI the sleying pattern is 0-1-1, this means to skip a dent, then put a thread in the next dent, then in the 3rd dent, then start the pattern again by skipping the next dent.
In the sett charts below, there is also an ends per centimeter table (Warp EPCM). If you are using a pattern written in metric and have english reeds, this chart is helpful.
