Project Information

I'm getting into segmented turning, and have just been using the miter gauge on my tablesaw to cut the angles.

That works, but a sled makes it a lot more accurate and faster.

This sled is patterned after one designed by Jim Rodgers, and is set (permanently) at 15 degrees, which yields 12 segments to a ring.

The ring shown in the last pic hasn't been glued or clamped.

Nice Jig and great Job, I too am going to be getting into segmenting I have looked at many. I think your style too me is the best way to go, just make a jig for each angle.
